Definition. A labor union is an organization of employees that is created for the purpose of dealing with employers concerning employee-employer relations, including grievances, labor disputes, wages, rates of pay, hours of employment, and other conditions of work.
A union is structured as a locally-based group of employees who obtain a charter from a national organization. Dues are paid by the employees to the national union, and in return, the labor union acts as an advocate on the employees behalf.
