Company Unions

Company unions are labor organizations formed by employees within a specific company, often created or influenced by management. Unlike traditional labor unions that advocate for workers' rights independently, company unions typically operate with the company's approval and may work to promote company policies. While they can provide a platform for employee feedback, they may lack the independence to effectively negotiate for employees' interests, potentially leading to conflicts of interest. Essentially, company unions might serve more to manage employee relations rather than to champion workers' rights in a way that traditional unions do.
