First of all, a union can't "make" anything happen. A union negotiates with an employer; the two agree to a wage increase.

Inflation goes up, cost of living goes up, cost of goods goes up, cost of insurance goes up, companies raises the cost of products produced, companies look for labor out side of the country, companies find cheaper labor abroad, companies reduce workforce, company closes a few factories, company sends more jobs out of the country, company closes more factories, union empoyees lose jobs, union disloves, company closes all operations in the US, changes name to Oragami inc. unemployment rate goes up. Unemployed that formaly worked for the company increase the tax burden on the rest of the nation, medical costs go up because of the burden, welfare and unemployment goes broke, country goes into ressesion, prison population goes up.......etc...etc.....Its a vicious circle.

An increase in the supply of labor will?

In a free-market an increase in the supply of labor will reduce wages and increase unemployment. It will also lower the price of produced goods as wages decrease. This effect is complicated by minimum wage laws. If wages cannot decrease due to legislation the effect will simply be an increase in unemployment and prices in the short run will remain static. If the population increase is significant it is possible for the price of goods to increase due to the increased demand for consumer goods.
