Industrial Unions
Industrial unions are labor organizations that represent workers from a specific industry, regardless of their individual job roles. These unions aim to unite all workers within that industry to negotiate better wages, working conditions, and benefits collectively. By organizing workers across various occupations, industrial unions can exert greater influence over employers and advocate for the rights of all members.
Unlike craft unions, which focus on specific trades or skills, industrial unions encompass a broader range of jobs within an industry. This approach allows for a more unified front in negotiations and helps address issues that affect all workers, such as safety standards and job security.
