Trade Unions:

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

One worker asking a large employer for a pay rise has little power. But thousands of workers asking together, with the threat to stop work if refused, is a different matter. That is the simple idea behind a trade union: strength in numbers.

In this lesson you will learn what a trade union is, what it does for its members, and how being a union member affects both employees and employers, the benefits, such as better pay and conditions, and the drawbacks, such as the cost of disputes.

What a trade union is and the effects of employees being union members

Akọmọ Ojú-ẹkọ

Relations between workers and employers shape pay, working conditions and whether a business runs smoothly or is hit by disputes. Trade unions are a key part of those relations. Understanding their effects helps you analyse industrial relations and answer questions on the costs and benefits of union membership for both sides.
