Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the demand for the good or service that the union produces will lead to higher employment as more workers will be needed to produce the goods or services, and higher wages as the union's bargaining power increases with increased demand. Lobbying for licensing requirements or easing immigration restrictions may limit competition for union jobs, but may not necessarily result in higher wages or employment for union members. Attempting to raise the price of complementary inputs may increase costs for the union's employer, leading to lower demand for their goods or services and potentially lower employment and wages for union members.
