In an economic model where firms set prices as a markup over their labor costs, a new government regulation that makes it easier for employees to switch to competing firms would force companies to increase their price markup to compensate for the higher risk of losing workers. This, in turn, would be represented by a downward shift of the curve showing the real wage that firms are willing to offer.
