company union

A company union is a labor union composed of the employees of a single company. It is unaffiliated with larger labor organizations and is often dominated by the employer. This contrasts with the broader labor movement, which is an organized effort by workers to improve their economic and social status through labor unions. Trade unions, a key part of the labor movement, are associations of workers formed to gain improvements in pay, benefits, and working conditions through collective bargaining. While unions aim to advance workers' collective interests, employers can be reluctant participants in collective bargaining, and union organizing campaigns often involve employer opposition.1234
