Abstract (2. Language): 
This study criticizes, theoretically, the impact of international trade on union behavior and wage rates. It is our main finding that international trade of a certain country has an affect on the wage rates in two ways. While exports help to increase wages and employment, foreign imports may put downward pressure on earnings and employment in domestic import-competing industries. In terms of the union behavior, our findings resulted with mixed results, which mainly imply that when different countries, industries and contexts are discussed, different scenarios are prevalent, which is mentioned in the paper.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalısma uluslarası ticaretin sendika davranısları ve ücert düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini teorik olarak incelemektedir. Bulgularımız, bir ülkedeki uluslararası ticaret faaliyetlerinin ücert düzeyleri üzerinde iki tür etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Đhracat, ücretlerin ve istihdamın artmasına yardımcı olurken, ithalat ise yurt içinde ithalatla rekabet eden endüstrilerde kazançlar ve istihdam üzerinde asağıya doğru baskı yapabilir. Sendika davranısları sözkonusu olduğunda ise bulgularımız karısık sonuçlar ortaya koymaktadır. Söyleki, çalısmamızın içeriğinde değindiğimiz üzere, farklı ülkeler, endüstriler ve is ortamları geçerli olduğunda farklı gelismeler söz konusu olmaktadır.
