Question

What's a union?

Accepted Answer

A union is an association of employees that represents its members, and protects and improves their members work conditions. It can:
• represent members in relation to collective employment interests
• negotiate collective employment agreements
• represent a member as an individual employee if the member authorises them
• give advice and help on rights and obligations
• represent members for personal grievances or disputes.
A union has to have at least 15 members, become an incorporated society and register as a union with the Companies Office.
