Highlights ► We analyze the safety performance differences between union and non-union motor carriers. ► We present evidence that union membership impacts safety performance. ► We find that union membership impacts disaggregate measures of safety performance. ► An important finding is that union membership results in fewer crashes as well.

    Abstract This paper analyzes the safety performance differences between union and non-union motor carriers. Based primarily on the safety and health provisions of a national agreement between the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and a major unionized motor carrier, a hypothesis is developed that union carriers have a positive safety impact. The hypothesis is tested using safety performance data. Key findings are that union membership has a statistically significant positive impact on both driver and vehicle safety performance. Union membership results in significantly fewer crashes as well.
