Union Workers Hit Harder By High State Taxes, Study Finds

The Wall Street Journal reports:
Union employees bear more of the burden of high state corporate taxes than non-union employees, according to a new study distributed by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

That suggests that in high-tax states like Pennsylvania and New Jersey, taxes take a bigger bite out of pay for union members than non-union workers in similar circumstances. Conversely, union workers may have more to gain from low taxes in places like Texas or Wyoming than non-union employees.
Great moments in Blue America.
