Abstract

This paper concerns the interaction between a firm and a trade union in determining employment, wages, and the capital stock. The authors take as given a variant of the monopoly trade union model as expounded by A. J. Oswald (1982), where the trade union sets the wage, and to this they add the extra dimension of the firm's choice of capital stock. The standard predictions of the trade union literature are highly dependent on the degree of strategic dominance of the union vis-a-vis the firm. Copyright 1988 by The editors of the Scandinavian Journal of Economics.
