工会成员身份是否增加了病假？如果是，增加了多少？这种效应是通过哪些具体渠道发挥作用的？使用2006-2008年的英国劳动力调查数据，我们发现，工会成员身份与报告生病的可能性和平均缺勤量的大幅增加有关。这一结果在很大程度上可以归因于工会为加入工会的员工提供的保护。还发现了支持证据，表明工会成员的出勤率(生病时上班)有所减少。(œ)结果对不同的建模和估计方法是稳健的。
Does union membership increase sickness absence from work and, if so, by how much? And which specific channels does this effect operate through? Using UK Labour Force Survey data for 2006-2008 we find that trade union membership is associated with a substantial increase in the probability of reporting sick and in the amount of average absence taken. This result can be largely attributed to the protection that unions offer to unionized employees. Supportive evidence is also found for a reduction in “presenteeism†(attending work when sick) among union members. The results are robust to different modelling and estimation approaches.
