Gewerkschaften (Trade Unions in Germany)

Gewerkschaften, or trade unions in Germany, are organizations that represent workers in various industries. Their primary role is to advocate for employees' rights, negotiate better wages, and improve working conditions. They engage in collective bargaining with employers to secure fair contracts. Trade unions also provide support and resources for their members, such as legal advice and job training. In Germany, they play a significant role in the labor market and contribute to social dialogue between employees, employers, and the government, helping to ensure a balanced approach to workplace issues and rights.
