union wages
Organized labor compensation
Union wages are the pay rates negotiated through collective bargaining between labor unions and employers, typically higher than non-union wages for comparable work.
The term often appears in discussions of labor economics and wage disparities: Union wages in the construction trades have kept pace with inflation.
Union wages usually come with standardized pay scales, scheduled increases, and benefits packages.
