Unions Unions Represent worker’s interests to management in organizations. The power that a manager has over an individual worker causes workers to join together in unions to try to prevent this. Unions are permitted by the National Labor Relations Act (1935) which also created the NLRB to oversee the relationship between employers and unions. Not all workers want unions. Union membership costs money in dues and workers might not want to strike. Union membership is lower today than 40 years ago.

Negotiation between labor and management to resolve conflicts and disputes about issues such as working hours, wages, benefits, working conditions, and job security.
