摘要：Trade Unions are organizations that represent people at work. ‘Representing’ could mean someone from theunion meeting with management on behalf of a member or a group of staff or taking up a problem with the employer forothers. Trade unions aim to protect their members. This includes making sure that workplaces are safe and that people’shealth is not being put at risk through their jobs. It also means legal protection – trade unions usually employ lawyers tomake sure that companies and organizations treat their staff in accordance with the law.Trade unions aim to improve their members’ pay and conditions. If a single member of staff approaches managementbecause they feel they should be paid more, they are much less likely to be successful than if every member of staff speaksas one through their trade union. Trade unions collectively negotiate better pay and conditions on behalf of their membersand, statistically, union members earn more than non-union members.
