Document Summary
Union- the act or an instance of uniting; the state of being united. Unions formalized cooperation within a workplace and offered workers, regardless of their political stripe, an easy and practical way to work together. What happens if we don"t- without the coordination that a union brings to a workplace, workers have to negotiate individually for their contracts, their salaries and their working conditions. As a result, many workers across canada would earn higher wages than their colleagues just because he or she has a closer or better relationship with the company"s (cid:373)a(cid:374)ager or o(cid:449)(cid:374)ers. Unionized jobs have protected many middle class canadians from some of the effects of job insecurity, guaranteed wage increases that, for the most part, meet inflationary increases and offer protection in the possibility of layoffs. Unionization = higher wages, better working conditions and stronger communities.
