Workers Union

A Workers Union is an organized group of workers who come together to make decisions about the terms of their work, including wages, working conditions, benefits, and job security. These unions negotiate with employers on behalf of their members to reach Collective Bargaining Agreements.

Examples of Workers Unions include:

• United Auto Workers (UAW): Represents workers in the automobile industry, negotiating contracts with major car manufacturers.
• National Education Association (NEA): Represents teachers and other education professionals, advocating for better salaries and working conditions.
• Service Employees International Union (SEIU): Represents workers in the service industry, including healthcare and janitorial services.

Notable cases involving Workers Unions:

• United States v. United Mine Workers of America (1947): A case where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the union’s right to strike and its limitations.
• National Labor Relations Board v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation (1937): Affirmed the right of unions to organize and engage in collective bargaining.
