trade union density

Trade union density refers to the percentage of workers in a specific sector or country who belong to a trade union. It indicates how strong or influential unions are in representing workers' interests in areas like wages, benefits, and working conditions. Higher density often leads to greater collective bargaining power, as unions can negotiate more effectively for their members. Conversely, lower density can mean less representation for workers. Monitoring trade union density helps understand labor trends and workers' rights in the economy.
