Essential Question What is a labor union and why has membership declined? O RGANIZED L ABOR

CA S TANDARD ( S ) C OVERED 12.4Students analyze the elements of the U.S. labor market in a global setting. 1. Understand the operations of the labor market, including the circumstances surrounding the establishment of principal American labor unions, procedures that unions use to gain benefits for their members, the effects of unionization, the minimum wage, and unemployment insurance. Essential Question What is a labor union and why has membership declined?

A labor union is an organization of workers that tries to improve working conditions, wages, and benefits for its members. U NION M EMBERSHIP T RENDS Less than 14 percent of U.S. workers belong to a labor union. Union membership has been declining. Essential Question What is a labor union and why has membership declined?

Collective bargaining is the process in which union and company representatives meet to negotiate a new labor contract. C OLLECTIVE B ARGAINING Wages and Benefits The Union negotiates on behalf of all members for wage rate, overtime rates, planned raises, and benefits. Working Conditions Safety, comfort, worker responsibilities, and other workplace issues are negotiated and written into the final contract. Job Security One of the union’s primary goals is to secure its members’ jobs. The contract spells out the conditions under which a worker may be fired. Essential Question What is a labor union and why has membership declined?

L ABOR S TRIKES AND S ETTLEMENTS Mediation To avoid the economic losses of a strike, a third party is sometimes called in to settle the dispute. Mediation is a settlement technique in which a neutral mediator meets with each side to try and find an acceptable solution that both sides will accept. Arbitration If mediation fails, talks may go into arbitration, a settlement technique in which a third party reviews the case and imposes a decision that is legally binding for both sides. Strikes If no agreement is met between the union and the company, the union may ask its members to vote on a strike. A strike is an organized work stoppage intended to force an employer to address union demands. Strikes can be harmful to both the union and the firm.
