Labour Law
Employees usually join a labour union because they find unions beneficial to their situation especially when it comes to negotiating for better pay, improved workplace safety, or better working hours. Employees have greater negotiating power and leverage to negotiate more advantageous terms of employment when part of a group instead of individually. This is where the union steps in and wields its power for the employees who are part of it. Unions have a lot of power, but by no means is that power limitless. Union leaders have an obligation to represent all members of the union fairly which includes advocating for employee rights and protecting employees who are disciplined or terminated from their employment.
Employers have specific rules they must follow when working with unions and their members which include only negotiating with specifically designated union representatives in the bargaining team during collective bargaining. Labour law also covers specific standards regarding safe working conditions and fair wages for all members.
Terms You Should Know
- The act of negotiating with a union is called collective bargaining.
- If you hear the term “organize” this refers to the period when employees who are non-unionized organize themselves with the intent of forming a union or joining a union.
