A union is simply a group of workers united, so that they may have a collective voice in their workplace. It gives the workers an opportunity to express their opinions on matters pertaining to employee treatment, wages, benefits and work conditions. It is formed by the people for the people. In addition, workers who assemble collectively and take concerted action, have added protections under federal law, in which other workers do not.
