Laws
Unions :red_flag:
Union: An organized association of workers formed to protect and further their rights and interests, a labor union.
Cons :green_cross:
Loss of voice: Union members sacrifice individuality by belonging to a group. You may disagree with the union's decisions, but you are to stand by them.
Less collaborative work environment: Unionized workers experience less of a sense of partnership and trust with their supervisors.
Seniority: The advantages that seniority provides can be a detriment to newer employees. You may be more productive or talented than a veteran worker, yet you're the one who likely will be laid off in a downsizing.
Union dues and initiation fees. Dues can range from $200 to several hundred dollars per year, partially offsetting higher wages
-
Pros :check:
Collective bargaining: Labor unions band workers together, allowing the voices of individual workers to be heard and possibly made into a goal of the union.
Higher wages: One of the top benefits of being a union worker is that you enjoy a better wage as compared to your non-union counterparts.Union workers are also more likely to enjoy consistent pay raises on a regular basis.
Job security: Employers can't terminate a worker for discriminatory reasons such as race, religion, age
Rewards and Benefits: Unions often times have access to greater reward programs, scholarships, and benefits for members and their families.
