Description: Evidence from Ghanaian manufacturing confirms that unions have an asymmetrical effect on wages: they benefit mainly the lower end of the wage distribution. The evidence also confirms the presence of structural differences between union and non-union segments: workers in the union sector of manufacturing earn more than workers in the non-union sector.
