Answer to Question 1

Collective bargaining refers to contract negotiations between an employer and a labor union representing workers. One of the objectives of collective bargaining is to bargain for better wages for workers. As a result, collective bargaining fixes the wage rate above the market clearing level. Once the wages are fixed at a higher level, wage rigidity prevents it from falling. At this higher level of wage, quantity supplied of labor exceeds the quantity demanded of labor and this causes unemployment.
