Union leadership refers to the individuals elected or appointed to represent and advocate for the interests of workers within a labor union. These leaders negotiate contracts, address grievances, and promote workers' rights and benefits, ensuring that members' voices are heard in discussions with employers. They play a crucial role in organizing efforts, member outreach, and fostering solidarity among workers. Effective union leadership is essential for building strong unions that can effectively advocate for fair wages, safe working conditions, and other important issues that impact workers’ lives and livelihoods.
