EC UR W* The union resistance curve UR shows the minimum wage that the union would be willing to accept to avoid a strike of a given length. If both the union and the firm are well informed about the other party’s concession curve, then the wage settlement will occur at W* where the UR and EC curves intersect and no strike will occur. If either party misperceives the other party’s concession curve, then a strike will occur. Two types of strike models based on asymmetric information have been developed. The first model focuses on the information gap between the union leadership and rank and file union members. Union leaders have better information about bargaining possibilities.

Firm has more information about the current and future profitability of the firm than the union. The firm has an incentive to understate the profitability of firm since it can reduce the wage settlement by doing so Asymmetric Information Models Questions for Thought: 1.
