PAULA B. VOOS
DIRECTOR OF CREDIT PROGRAMS AND
PROFESSOR
 Recent research concerns the impact on stock prices of certification based on majority sign-up, a process also known as “card check.” Other scholarship investigates the determinants of union bargaining power, its evolution over time in the U.S., and the implications for future union revitalization. Prior research concerns the impact of public policy that mandates employer provision of health insurance, and also the consequences of union representation of supervisors in the public sector. Professor Voos is a past president of the Labor and Employment Relations Association and the editor of that Associations’ 1994 research volume, Contemporary Collective Bargaining in the United States.
Through December 2009, Professor Voos will serve as a trustee for the Ford – United Autoworkers VEBA, an organization charged with subsidizing health/dental insurance for retirees. She was appointed by Governor Codey to the Benefits Review Task Force that examined pension issues in New Jersey’s public sector in 2005 and appointed by President Clinton to the Commission on the Future of Worker-Management Relations (the Dunlop Commission) in 1994. She came to Rutgers from the University of Wisconsin in 1998, where she had directed the Industrial Relations Research Institute. |
