Trade union
Main article: Trade union
A trade union (or labor union) is an organization of workers who have come together to achieve
common goals such as protecting the integrity of its trade, improving safety standards, achieving
higher pay and benefits such as health care and retirement, increasing the number of employees an
employer assigns to complete the work, and better working conditions. The trade union, through its
leadership, bargains with the employer on behalf of union members (rank and file members) and
negotiates labor contracts (collective bargaining) with employers. The most common purpose of
these associations or unions is "maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment".[36] This
may include the negotiation of wages, work rules, complaint procedures, rules governing hiring,
firing, and promotion of workers, benefits, workplace safety and policies.
