Unions protect workers from various company abuses such as unsafe/uncomfortable working conditions, long hours, arbitrary hiring & firing, and so on.
They give workers a chance to speak at the same negotiating & power levels of the managers and owners.
They allow workers to collectively bargain for wages, benefits, an acceptable work environment, and more.
Unions prevent managers from having to address worker grievances one-by-one.
Unions give workers more job security and piece of mind, reducing the stress of possible layoffs & wage/benefit cuts.
Unions create a stable, long-term employment relationship between company and employee, which is good for both.
