| | trade union - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about trade union |
 | | Unions may also be affiliated to a larger organization that negotiates with the government, for example the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in the UK and the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in the USA. | | | Trade unions try to get a larger share of the profits of their members' labour allocated to the workers rather than to management and shareholders. | | | Attitudes of government to unions and of unions to management vary greatly from country to country. |

| | Trade union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Trade unions are often accused of benefiting the insider workers, those having a secure job and high productivity, at the cost of the outsider workers, consumers of the goods or services produced, and the shareholders of the unionised business. | | | A modern definition by the Australian Bureau of Statistics states that a trade union is "...an organisation consisting predominantly of employees, the principal activities of which include the negotiation of rates of pay and conditions of employment for its members" [1]. | | | While unions have sometimes been very strong, as of 2005 they are relatively weak and in decline, due in part to the actions of Australian politicians, including Prime Minister John Howard and his Liberal government which introduced the Workplace Relations Act 1996; although the decline in membership had begun before Howard came into power. |

| | Trade union membership 1993-2003 |
| | Unions may have reasons to overstate or understate their membership figures in reports to the press, public agencies, political parties, employers or competitors. | | | Furthermore, there is a close link between union membership and membership of an unemployment insurance fund, and the overall union membership figures can be further reduced by the proportion of the unemployment funds’ members who are full-time unemployed (13.8% in 1993, 7.0% in 1998 and 5.9% in 2003). | | | The membership of trade unions - both in absolute terms and as a proportion of their potential constituency among workers - has always been an issue of major interest to industrial relations practitioners and researchers. |

| | Affiliated trade union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Since then, the unions have retained close institutional links with the Party, although these arrangements have been strained significantly in recent years, with the RMT and FBU severing their links. | | | Affiliation means that the unions pay an affiliation fee to the Labour Party; in return, they and their members receive the privileges of affiliated membership. | | | In many cases, local union branches also affiliate to Constituency Labour Parties and their members who are also individual members of the Party may represent the Union as delegates on Labour Party structures. |
