Labour market institutions
•unions
•employer associations
•current employment /industrial framework.
textbook might help with the rest of the linkage, but for unions:
- they restrict the supply of labour through strikes
- excersise bargaining power with employers (similar to a price floor, i.e. put simply, they try to push their wage levels up)
- represent members in industrial relations
- Lobby governments (lobbying for protection can increase demand for labour in the protected industries - possibly due to the job security they have earnt from the lobbying?)
