“The Real Difference Between Nonunion and Union Wages: Exploring Pay Disparities and Influencing Factors”

Write an 8 page, APA formatted (but single spaced) paper on the real difference between nonunion and union wages, specifically the pay disparities between unionized and nonunionized workers.
Discuss Union vs. Nonunion
Compensation Structures, such as wage levels and benefits, Factors influenceing the wage differentials, such as collective bargaining power (what that is), industry and occupation, income inequality, labor market dynamics, 
Income Inequality, and employee satisfaction and retention… and anything else you can think of that will support the pay disparities. 
Please no plagarism or AI. Paper should be detailed but not over the top with extravagant words, basic language is fine. Please use at least 10 resources and cite properly. Some specific sources I’d like utilized are:
*Compensation  14th edition(book by Barry Gerhart)
*Laborunionnews.com
