I examine influences on the probability that a state changed its labor relations policies covering municipal police to assess whether policy can be treated as an exogenous factor in analyses of employment outcomes. Multinomial logit estimates suggest a balancing of interests over time, with greater relative pay associated with decreases in the probability of union‐favorable policy changes and with increases in the probability of management‐favorable policy changes.
