Abstract
This paper examines differences in the level of job satisfaction reported by union workers and non‐union employees. There is a strong belief in the literature that union status reduces job satisfaction. Based on different national probability samples, previous studies have generally failed to adequately control for differences in working conditions between the two sectors while studying the impacts of unions on job satisfaction. Union workers generally have a poorer working environment. The negative relationship reported between union status and job satisfaction might only reflect this differential if differences in working conditions are not taken into account. Using a large representative sample of 3,352 workers from the Canadian General Social Survey of 1989, this study replicates previous econometric specifications. The results of ordered‐probit regression show a negative relationship between union status and job satisfaction, but as expected, this relationship disappears when an adequate control for differences in working conditions is applied. It is concluded that union status is not negatively associated with job satisfaction in Canada.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
