Labor Unions are groups of workers who band together to have a better chance to obtain higher pay, benefits and better working conditions
Out of the 151 million in the civilian labor force, only 14% of American workers belong to a union.
That number has been falling since the 1980’s as we have transformed our economy from manufacturing to a service based economy.

There are two types of unions:1. Trade unions – workers who perform the
same skills2. Industrial unions – bring workers together
who belong to the same industry

Local unions are made up of workers in a factory, company or geographic area.

National unions are the individual craft or industrial unions that represent local unions nationwide

Closed Shop – Companies hire only union members
Union Shop – Workers must join the union after a specified time
Agency Shop – Not required to join a union, but must pay dues
Open Shop – Companies may hire workers regardless of membership
Modified Union Shop – Workers given an option to join a union after hiring

In the past, some labor unions supported closed shops, when a worker would have to first belong to a union to be hired by a company.
This was banned by the Taft-Hartley Act 1947
Stopped the practice of closed shops

![Page 13: Ch. 22 Section 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681689d550346895ddf2eef/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A common arrangement today is the union shop, which allows companies to hire anyone as long as they join the union shortly after they begin working
One part of the Taft-Hartley Act banned this practice as well.
22 states have passed right-to-work laws, which prevent mandatory union membership required by union shops

What we see in the South are modified union shops, in which workers do not have to join a union, but if they do join have to remain a member for the duration of their employment.
A majority of workers must vote in favor of a union before one can be formed.
The National Labor Relations Board makes sure union votes are carried out honestly

Process where union leaders & employers discuss employment terms
Once workers choose to be represented by a union, the union is responsible for carrying out collective bargaining.
Union and company representatives meet to discuss conditions of employment such as:
1. Wages2. Work hours3. Working conditions4. Grievance procedures5. Benefits6. Work rules and responsibilities
Collective Bargaining
![Page 16: Ch. 22 Section 2](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5681689d550346895ddf2eef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Compromise is the issue3 steps
Negotiation – Labor & management meet to discuss contract issuesMediation – A neutral 3rd party hears both sides
Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service provides a mediator
Arbitration – 3rd party makes a final decision for a compromise. Has the power of a judge and both sides agree to accept the arbitrators decision.

Business/ManagementLockout - in which the company blocks workers from
entering the workplace until they accept their contract terms.
Blacklist – A list of people who are denied employment

In severe or extreme labor-management dispute, government may get involved.
Can seize operations of an industry until conflict is settled.Ex. 1946 U.S. seized the coal industry because of the countries need for this energy source. Operation of the mines continued, until labor and management came to an amicable agreement
