An increase in the minimum wage would mean that employers would have to pay some employees more. If the company is already struggling to make ends meet, an increase in the minimum wage might result in layoffs because the company is unable to pay the new required wage rate.

How are the minimum wage and union wages similar and how are they different?

Very few union members work for minimum wage because they are skilled workers. Union members come together to demand wages that are higher than minimum wage because they offer experience and skills that the unskilled non-union members cannot. When the minimum wage increases by law, there is a smaller difference between the minimum wage and the union wage, and it becomes more beneficial for employers to hire skilled union members than unskilled workers at the minimum wage because the marginal benefit of the union members' skills is worth the marginal cost of the union wages.
