Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The firm's bargaining position improves if it can hire non-union workers at better wages, indicating less dependence on union workers (A), and if the union has younger workers who cannot afford to be off work, indicating potential pressure within the union to avoid prolonged strikes (B). A strike fund (C) would actually strengthen the union's position, not the firm's.
