What does it mean for employees to want to start a union? What’s a union? What does it do? Why do people want it and why do company’s fire you over it?

Normal when you apply for a job you bargain with your employer for pay and benefits. Your employer is far richer and more powerful than you are so they have a huge advantage in this kind of negotiation. A union is when a group of workers agree to bargain with the company collectively instead of individually. By bargaining collectively the employees can exert a lot more leverage on the company to extract more pay and benefits. The company and the union sign a legally binding contract that dictates the rights and responsibilities of each party. The union can then take the company to court if they violate that agreement.
