Freeman and Medoff (1984) argue that unions have two 'faces'. The first is the monopoly face, which refers to unions' ability to restrict labor supply and raise wages for their members. The second is the collective voice face, which refers to unions' ability to represent workers and negotiate better working conditions for all workers in a particular industry or workplace. Therefore, the correct options are A, which includes both the monopoly and collective voice faces.
