What is a trade union ?
TUC Find and Join a Union web page
A trade union is an organised group of workers who have joined together to achieve common goals such as better working conditions, wages and a safer working environment. Trade unions negotiate with employers on behalf of union members to agree wages, work rules, complaint procedures, rules governing hiring, firing and promotion of workers, benefits, workplace safety and other policies. |
