Unions were tremendously successful in the late 19th and early 20th centuries because many manufacturing workers were low-skilled and spent most if not all of their working lives in a single manufacturing plant and with the same company.

Consider a 2-period binomial non-recombining model. Let r = 0.05 be the discrete interest rate for each of the periods, S(0) = 100 and suppose that the stock price follow four possible scenarios:
| Scenario | S(1) | S(2) |
| ?1 | Su | Suu |
| ?2 | Su | 103 |
| ?3 | 90 | Sdu |
| ?4 | 90 | 80 |
It is known that the risk-neutral probability for each scenario ?i , i = 1, 2, 3, 4 satisty P ? (?1) = 0.2, P? (?2) = 0.4, P? (?3) = 0.3, P? (?4) = 0.1.
