Feel the benefit: union workers receive far better pay and rights, Congress finds

Study shows unionized workers earn 10.2% more than non-union peers, amid wave of organizing at some of largest US employers

Workers represented by labor unions earn 10.2% higher wages than their non-union peers, have better benefits and collectively raise wages industry-wide, according to a report released by the House and Senate committees on Friday and first shared with the Guardian.

Joe Biden has pledged to be the most pro-union president in generations, and the report outlining the economic benefits of union membership was released as his administration pushes for legislative and executive-action efforts to support workers' rights to organize.
