Trade unions are organizations that represent workers. Our purpose is to protect and improve pay, conditions of employment and campaign for laws and policies which will benefit Public Sector Workers. They exist because an individual worker has very little power to influence decisions that are made about his or her job. By joining together with other workers to form a union, there is more chance of having a voice and influence collective bargaining. Five main reasons why persons join:
  1. Larger Voice
  2. Speak on Issues affect the worker
  3. Protection and Enforcement of Workers' Rights
  4. Campaigns for Law and Policy Reform
  5. Lobby to change government laws and policies
