Question

The trade union of workers of a company's manufacturing plant is trying to negotiate a better deal with its management. All the workers of the manufacturing plant are members of the trade union. Why do the workers believe that coming together of all workers and forming a trade union will help them to get a better deal with their company's management?

• A. Bargaining as a single collective unit makes it difficult for management to reject their demands.
• B. Bargaining as a single collective unit ensures uniformity of demands.
• C. Bargaining as a single collective unit ensures the benefit of all workers.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

A trade union tries its best to negotiate a better deal with its employers. Bargaining as a collective unit ensures that all workers are included and their demands are put forward. It guarantees that there is uniformity of demands of the workers. For these reasons, the workers of an organisation feel that coming together and organising themselves into a trade union would yield the best results, in terms of negotiating a deal with their company's management.
