Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If nurses' aides unionize and demand higher wages, then their wages are likely to rise. This may lead to an increase in labor costs for employers, who may respond by reducing the wages of medical technicians. Therefore, nurses' aides' wages will rise, and the wages of medical technicians are likely to fall.
