要旨

The literature suggests that labor unions pose operational risk. In this paper, we find that managers stockpile buffer inventories in response to the operational risk associated with unions to maintain bargaining power in labor negotiations. This positive relation between union strength and inventory holdings is more salient when the relative costs of stock-out vs. excessive inventory holding is greater, when managers face more intense product market competition and thus a higher risk of sales loss, when it is more difficult to diversify labor disruption risks, when employees are not capable of delaying the effort, and when labor is more difficult to replace. Managers are shown to rely more on inventory stockpiling when they are restricted from using alternative disclosure strategies against unions. We further document that the potential benefit of excess inventory is in deterring strikes, while over-investment in inventory due to unions has on average undesirable effects on future financial performance both at the firm and the economy level.
