Description
Regulatory reform in the late 1970s and early 1980s vastly transformed the labor market for transportation workers. Most research in
this area focuses on the effect of deregulation on the earnings of nonmanagement company workers in airline, trucking and rail. Deregulation
of transportation industries, though, has had a broader effect on workers. For instance, deregulation also influences workers' hours
worked per week, working conditions, worker safety, and a host of other labor issues. Deregulation might also influence the earnings
of managers and self-employed workers in transportation industries. Examining these issues is valuable because such analysis provides
a more complete assessment of labor market changes following the shift to a more market oriented business environment.
Transportation
Labor Issues and Regulatory Reform adds to the debate on deregulation's influence on transportation labor markets by presenting
empirical evidence on an array of labor market outcomes in transportation industries. Contributions to this volume are categorized by
their analysis on worker safety, working conditions and employment opportunities, and by their analysis on managerial and self-employed
earnings
Audience
Researchers and postgraduate students in transportation, civil servants, policy makers and consultants
