Ep32 “Labor Unions and Detroit Struggle” with Larry Katz

All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions

With recent strikes making big news, what are the complexities at hand when Unions become involved in the labor force? Some are well known but other effects, both good and bad, have been less obvious. Exact data can be hard to discern, but In this episode of All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen talk with Larry Katz of Harvard University about how labor unions have functioned in the past, the current union landscape with an ongoing UAW strike in Detroit, and what impacts and changes they think will happen in the future as technology disrupts labor markets in different ways.
