British trade union movement

The British trade union movement is a collective organization of workers that advocates for their rights, better working conditions, fair wages, and job security. It emerged during the Industrial Revolution as workers united to negotiate with employers and improve their standards of living. Over time, unions have held strikes, lobbied governments, and influenced labor laws. Today, they continue to serve as a voice for workers, balancing employer interests with those of employees, and play a key role in shaping employment policies across the UK.
