Note: OLS regression of public sector union coverage rates on dummy variables for whether the state has public sector laws that were either “Favorable” or “Unfavorable.” Omitted category is “Intermediate.” Some models control for private sector union coverage rates and for whether the state has a RTW law. Union coverage rates are in ln form. Standard errors in parentheses. ***p<.01, **p<.05, *p<.01.
