Question

Answer 1

UNION MEMBERSHIP

Labor union organization acts as a mediator between its members and the business (employer) that employs them.

• Through collective bargaining, it helps the workers the power to negotiate for more favorable working conditions and other benefits.
• Members of union labor earn better and get benefits more than the workers who are not union members.
• Members of the union have guaranteed pensions and health insurance benefits.
• Labor unions help to bring employees out of poverty and provides a more stable, productive workforce.

It is always difficult and usually impossible for an individual employee to go on one to one with an employer when it becomes important to secure your livelihood. Hence decline in union membership is the bad thing in the United States.
