union corruption

Union corruption refers to unethical or illegal activities within labor unions, which are organizations that represent workers' interests. This can include embezzlement of union funds, bribery, coercion, and nepotism, where leaders use their power for personal gain rather than serving their members. Such corruption can undermine the union's purpose of advocating for fair wages and working conditions, leading to mistrust among workers. While the majority of unions operate ethically, instances of corruption can tarnish their reputation and impact the rights and benefits of workers they represent.
