Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Labor unions typically negotiate higher wages and benefits for their members in unionized industries, which can lead to higher wages overall in those industries.

Answer: B 
 Labor unions can create labor shortages in non-unionized industries because workers may prefer to work in unionized jobs that offer better wages and benefits.

 Labor unions have traditionally had a larger role in European countries, such as Norway and Sweden, where they are often more integrated into the political and economic systems.
