- 4. Inclusive, or industrial, unions - Negotiating a higher industry wage Consider the housing construction industry. Assume that the industry is perfectly competitive in both input and output markets. Suppose that, through collective bargaining, a labor union negotiates an industry-wide wage for various kinds of labor (electricians, plumbers, and so on). In particular, it succeeds in negotiating a wage increase for carpenters from $9 to $12 per hour. The following graph shows the labor demand of an individual firm. On the following graph, show what happens at the firm level as a result of the union negotiations. 18 15 Demand 12 Supply Supply Demand 3 10 15 20 25 30 QUANTITY OF LABOR ---- --- Co WAGE RATEarrow_forwardFigure 3.2 Si 15 S2 10 5.
