A labor union is an organized association of workers formed to protect and further their rights and interests through collective action and bargaining with employers.
Collective bargaining is the process of negotiation between an employer and a group of employees (represented by a union) aimed at reaching agreements on wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.
Common benefits include higher wages, better health insurance and retirement plans, improved working conditions, increased job security, and a collective voice in workplace decisions.
In the U.S., the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) protects most private sector employees' rights to organize, form, join a union, and bargain collectively. Similar laws exist in other countries.
