Training union members to work more productively can increase the output of each worker, which can lead to higher revenues for the firm. This increased revenue can then be used to pay higher wages without reducing employment. Choice A may lead to reduced employment as higher wages might discourage the hiring of more workers, and choice B may not have an immediate impact on wages. Choice C is not a strategy to increase wages but rather a way to eliminate unnecessary jobs.
