Abstract
This paper distinguishes between the premia for fatal risk in jobs cov ered by union-negotiated terms and conditions and the premia in uncove red jobs. It employs a model which allows for the endogeneity of both covered status and fatal job risk. Values of a life in both the covere d and uncovered sectors are computed.
