Abstract: It is usually believed that the presence of labour unions is detrimental for the consumers since it raises wages. We show that this view may not be true if we endogenize the impacts of labour unions on firms’ corporate strategies such as merger and acquisition. The presence of labour unions may benefit the consumers by deterring merger.
