A DECENT JOB FOR A DECENT WAGE

The phrase, "a decent job for a decent wage" says a lot about the core promise of trade unionism. The basic idea is that trade unions, if prevalent will insure a substantial level of economic and social justice for all. Trade unions provide a better position for workers to bargain for higher wages and other job related benefits. Of course all of this is within the context of the employer/employee relationship.

Trade unionism is the major form of worker organization in the United States today. This remains true despite a decline in percent of workers represented by trade unions.
