🤓 Inside Scoop...
A labor union is an organization of workers that band together to collectively bargain for improvements to their working conditions, wages, and benefits. Any industry can have a union. It starts by hosting some form of election in the workplace to acknowledge that the workers of that unit would like to unionize. Then, it expands to a more formalized agreement and negotiation process. Employers can dissuade workers from unionizing, but it's illegal to threaten or coerce. That grey line in between is for the lawyers.
