unions in the United States

Unions in the United States are organizations that represent workers in negotiations with employers over wages, benefits, working conditions, and workers’ rights. They aim to give employees collective bargaining power, rather than negotiating individually, which can lead to better pay, improved safety standards, and job security. Unions also advocate for workers’ interests in broader social and political issues. Membership is voluntary, and unions often support collective actions like strikes if negotiations fail. Overall, they serve as a way for employees to organize and ensure fair treatment and working conditions in the workplace.
