Impact of Union Bargaining on Labor Market Equilibrium
In an economic model where firms' price-setting behavior determines the real wage, explain the complete process through which an increase in the bargaining power of labor unions affects the equilibrium levels of both real wages and employment. In your explanation, detail why one of these variables changes while the other remains constant.

Consider an economic model where the equilibrium real wage is determined solely by firms' price-setting decisions, resulting in a level that does not change with the rate of unemployment. In this same model, the wage demanded by workers increases as unemployment falls. If new legislation grants labor unions significantly more bargaining power, what is the most likely impact on the economy's equilibrium?
In an economic framework where the real wage is determined by firms' price-setting behavior and is independent of the unemployment rate, a successful campaign by labor unions to increase their bargaining power will result in a higher equilibrium real wage for the economy.
