Question:

Suppose that the retail food industry in Miami is in long-run equilibrium.

Assume further that the firms in this market—supermarkets—only use union labor. Using two graphs—one for the supermarket market and another for a typical supermarket—show what happens to equilibrium food prices when Walmart Supercenters (which sell groceries and do not employ union workers)
