Trade Union

Trade unions are formed to protect and promote the interests of workers. Their primary functions are to negotiate with employers on behalf of members, represent members' interests, and provide member services like education, training, legal assistance, and welfare benefits. Trade unions are important as they help achieve higher wages and better working conditions for workers, raise workers' status, protect against victimization and injustice, and help accelerate economic development by enabling rational settlement of disputes and social adjustments. Reasons workers join unions include greater bargaining power, sense of security, participation, and belongingness. Unions should widen their activities and benefits to attract more members.

development rather then creating obstacles
for the organisation.
