What is a Trade Union?

A trade union is a group of workers or employees intending to maintain employees' rights and ensure that they are not discriminated against. Along with this, they mainly form ideas on how to improve their conditions as employees.

Here is a list of things that a trade union works after:

  • Attainment of better wages.
  • Attainment of better benefits.
  • Improvement of their living conditions.
  • Improvement of working conditions.
  • Aligning complaint procedures.

They were being exploited by their managers and their
