Abstract

Proceeding from the optimal outcome for a monopolistic trade union, the question is raised how a contract to the mutual benefit of employer and employees has to look like. The margins for an improvement for workers as well as entrepreneurs are traced out. Furthermore, a proposal of ‘fair’ wages is presented in order to inquire whether this concept, properly applied, may help to overcome labour market problems.
