Inflation has two basic causes. They usually go hand in hand but they will be explained separately.
1. Too much money in the economy (I know this sounds funny, bear with me). This is the supply side of inflation (so too much supply, the price goes down). Having too much money in the economy causes money to be "cheap", so the value of the dollar falls. This can happen from having interest rates be too low, the government printing too much money, etc etc.
2. Too much demand for goods (could theoretically be taken as a decrease in demand for the dollar, but that is a little more theoretical). This causes the price of goods to rise. This means that a dollar will purchase less goods, making the dollar worth less.

The type of inflation that suggests labor groups cause inflation is known as "wage-push inflation" or "cost-push inflation."

In response, companies may raise prices to maintain profit margins, leading to overall inflation. Thus, wage increases can contribute to a general rise in price levels within the economy.
