II- READING COMPREHENSION
Text:
1- A labor union is an organization that acts as an intermediary between its
members and the business that employs them. The main purpose of labor unions is
to give workers the power to negotiate for more favorable working conditions and
other benefits through collective bargaining.
2- Collective bargaining is the heart and soul of the labor union. Collective
bargaining occurs when a group of people, such as the workforce at a company,
bands together to increase its negotiating power. For instance, a single worker
might feel that a certain new safety measure should be implemented in his factory,
but he might have limited power to get the company to install the new measure. If
the entire workforce is made aware of the need for the new measure and bands
together to pressure the company to install it, there is a much greater chance that
the company will comply. Labor unions join workers together, allowing the voices
of individual workers to be heard and made into a goal of the whole union.
Unionized workers typically elect representatives to bring their concerns to the
union’s attention.
3- When labor costs more, employers invest more in training and equipment,
which improves workplace morale and boosts productivity. When workers are
taken care of, everyone benefits. The antagonism between business and organized
labor is not inevitable. But when employees are considered disposable, businesses
can become less interested in protecting them. Employees also may lack someone
to intervene on their behalf with management on safety issues when there is no
union representation. When workplaces become organized, the need for
cooperation becomes more obvious. Companies recognize that they can take steps
to make a stable workforce more safe, productive and effective, through training,
better equipment, and making better use of their knowledge. Unions, in turn,
increasingly recognize the needs of employers to be responsive to customers and
competitive in their markets. In some sectors, having a company story that
involves union workers and living wages may be a competitive advantage
commercially.
