A trade union (British English) or labor union (American English) is an organization of workers that have banded together to achieve common goals such as better
working conditions. The trade union, through its leadership, bargains with the employer on behalf of union members (rank and file members) and negotiates labour
contracts (collective bargaining) with employers


The main objective of a trade union is to provide different facilities to the laborers and to take different measures in order to raise their wages.
