About me

Hi there! My name is Jianxuan Lei, and I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of Work and Organizations at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota. My research focuses on industrial relations, particularly trade unions.

My current work follows two lines of inquiry. First, I study U.S. labor unions from an economic perspective, examining the impact of the 1981 Professional Air Traffic Controllers’ Strike and the effects of public-sector unionism on private-sector employers and workers. Second, I study comparative employment relations with a multidisciplinary approach, investigating the dynamics between organized labor and issues related to gender equality and immigration.

You can find my CV here.
