Draw labor supply and demand curves in equilibrium under perfect competition.Be sure to label the two curves, the axis, market clearing wage, and the equilibrium of unemployment and worker/producer surpluses.
Suppose that a car factory initially hires 1,600 workers at $20 per hour and that each worker works 40 hours per week. Then the factory unionizes, and the new union demands that wages be raised by 25 percent. The firm accedes to that request in collective bargaining negotiations but then decides to cut the factory’s labor force by 30 percent due to the higher labor costs.
Part I: Suppose the firm's labor demand curve is given by: w = 60 – 0.03E where w is the hourly wage andE is the level of employment. Suppose also that the union's utility function is given by: U = w x E The marginal utility of the wage for the union is E and the marginal utility of employment is w. (a) How many workers will be employed under a monopoly union contract? (b) What wage would a monopoly union demand?
Discuss how both unions and firms can be better off if they move off the demand curve. Derive the contract curve.
The following diagram provides the demand for labour (DL) of a remote gold mine, and the local community's supply of labour (SL). The mining company has a monopsony in the local labour market.

What is the principle strategy of an inclusive (industrial) union in order to increase the wages of its members?
Describe how we calculate the percentage decline in national income resulting from the misallocation of labor in a model of monopoly unionism. What is the dollar value of this allocative inefficiency if unions and firms reach efficient contracts and the contract curve is vertical?
When a factor market has only one demander of labor, the market is labeled a (n) (A) Natural mpnopoly (B) Labor union (C) Competitive market (D) Monopsony (E) Oligopoly
write down the optimization problem for a representative firm and show the profit-maximizing point graphically and discuss about it. b) Derive the rule of labor hiring for a firm that operates in the short-run.
Maria is an industrial engineer at a Nissan plant. Using the interdependence principle, explain why and how she should change production plans if one of her engine suppliers cuts the price they charge Nissan by 50%. What about if workers unionize and demand a 12% across-the-board pay raise?
