The British Trade Union Movement

The British Trade Union Movement is a collection of organizations representing workers across various industries, advocating for better working conditions, fair wages, and workers’ rights. Originating in the 19th century, unions negotiate with employers to improve job security, safety, and benefits. They also organize strikes and protests when necessary. The movement aims to balance the power between employers and employees, ensuring fair treatment and improving living standards. Over time, union laws and public policies have evolved, influencing labor rights and workplace practices in the UK.
