Most common unions: quebec (b/c particular labour laws) Local organizations found that harder to stand on your own, pooling resources in a larger group more power and more money. Join a larger network, you will pool a lot more 22166$ Biggest issue: negotiations for getting more of what they want: more respect is given. Pension plans are usually run by unions (30%) Parent unions have roster of qualified staff. Unions depend on organizing new members + groups of workers. Rely on parent unions (b/c they have the fund + experience) Sometimes act as parent unions: e. g. Local autonomy + central control: local unions tend to feel free and develop their own culture.
