Companies With a Higher Level of Unionization Have Lower Average Employee Turnover

For one, the existence of unions could potentially lead to increased workforce stability. Using Sustainalytics’ Employee Turnover Score (where higher scores are better, indicating lower turnover levels), we can see that higher percentages of unionized employees are correlated with lower employee turnover (outside a dip at lower levels of unionization).

Companies With Higher Unionization Tend to Have Lower Uncertainty Ratings

Finally, among companies with higher levels of unionization, we see lower average Uncertainty Ratings as assigned by Morningstar equity analysts. While industry-specific considerations remain critical, a lower Uncertainty Rating requires a lower discount relative to the estimated fair value of a company before a stock is automatically assigned a non-3-star rating, given a slimmer range of potential future outcomes.

A Higher Level of Unionization Correlates With Improving Lost Time Incident Rates

A Higher Level of Unionization Correlates With Improving Lost Time Incident Rates

Similarly, companies with a higher percentage of employees covered by collective bargaining agreements tend to report stronger lost-time incident rate, or LTIR, performance over time, as measured by Sustainalytics’ LTIR Trend indicator. This indicator assesses the trend in a company’s LTIR by comparing the rate in a given fiscal year relative to its previous three-year average; again, higher is better. Better work safety performance may arguably translate into lower future costs associated with compensation for injury or death, alongside lower productivity losses.
