ELi5: What are unions and why are people so for it or so against it?
In: 6
Usually the employees have to do what the company says or they’re fired.
Unions allow employees to have some collective bargaining power against the bosses.
Companies don’t want to upset unions because unions can cause more trouble for the company than a single worker. The union can all leave at once, strike together, protest, work with the media, try to prevent new employees from being hired, etc.
If someone is against unions, it is usually because they value efficiency and profit over the rights and happiness of workers.
