The following graph shows the labour market for steelworkers. Assume that all firms in the steel industry must hire union workers. The union representing the steelworkers successfully lobbies the government to impose trade restrictions on imports of steel from foreign competitors, causing the demand for domestically produced steel to increase. Shift one or both of the curves on the following graph to illustrate the impact of the union's actions. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. Supply Demand Supply Demand QUANTITY OF LABOUR (Thousands of workers) The following graph shows the labour market for dockworkers. Assume that all shipping firms must hire union-licensed dockworkers. The union imposes new rules that increase the length of an apprenticeship that a worker must complete before becoming a licensed dockworker, reducing the number of licensed dockworkers available for work in the shipping industry. Shift one or both of the curves on the following graph to illustrate the impact of the union's actions. WAGE RATE (Dollars per worker)
