Trades Unionism

Trades Unionism is the practice of workers organizing collectively into unions to improve their working conditions, wages, and rights. By uniting, workers gain collective bargaining power to negotiate better terms with employers, advocate for safer workplaces, and protect against unfair treatment. The goal is to ensure fair treatment and improve standards for all members. Trades unions also provide support during disputes and promote worker solidarity. This movement emerged during the Industrial Revolution and continues today as a key way for workers to have a voice and influence in their jobs and industries.
