Trade Unions - Higher Business Management


A small question that may crop up in any exam could be about The Role of Trade Unions.



Trade unions are organisations that represent people at work.

q Their purpose is to protect and improve people's pay and conditions of employment.

q They also campaign for laws and policies which will benefit working people and working conditions.

q Trade unions exist because an individual worker has very little power to influence decisions that are made about his or her job.

q By joining together with other workers, there is more chance of having a voice and influence.

q This is known as collective bargaining.
