I have visited a few other forums related to this subject in the past couple of days in doing a research report for my project. I have to say that what you're saying here makes perfect sense and is helping me to get my head around this subject. Do you have any other forums you could recommend to help my research?

True: now the trick is to make nonprofit management understand that having us on staff is THEIR privilege and not just ours!

Another reason why nonprofit employees are not unionized: nonprofit managers fight unionization tooth and nail, just like other employers. One of their most effective weapons is convincing employees that they should be happy with substandard wages and benefits because their work is so “meaningful.”

Trouble is, in our rat race of an economy, nonprofit management has something of a point: working for a nonprofit for low wages but doing something moderately socially useful CAN feel like a privilege.

I suspect nonprofit employees aren’t unionized for the same reason a majority of the workforce is now nonunion: lack of organizing efforts by the major unions coupled with a concerted campaign by the [well-organized!) Right to alter public discourse so unions are perceived as a “special interest group.” But labor’s day will come again, and nonprofits will be at the top of the organizers’ list, because for the most part their work can’t be outsourced to Pakistan in response to unionization.

I’ve often wondered why nonprofit employees weren’t unionized. Your comments are so right on.

I knew somebody had to be doing this! Thanks for pointing us–employees and employers alike–in the right direction.

As you probably know there are a number of salary research sites. One by Monster.com shows up at the top of the list. Here is another that quotes salary levels for various types of social workers in 60657, for example:
