Charles lives in Houston and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $851,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $476,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $281,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $71,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Charles does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant, receive an annual salary of $34,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $71,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.

The objectives of labor unions frequently shift with social and economic trends. In the 1970s, the primary objective was additional pay and benefits for members. In the 1980s, job security and union recognition were uppermost. In the 1990s and into the 2000s, unions again focused on job security due to the growth of global competition and outsourcing. Organized labor has also strongly opposed the increase in offshore outsourcing, claiming this practice will cost U.S. jobs. Labor unions generally insist that a contract contain a union security clause stipulating that employees who reap union benefits either officially join or at least pay dues to the union. Edward was recently transferred to a location in a new state. He was surprised that he was not required to be in the union in the new state, but he was in the old state.
