Trade (or Labor) Unions Explained in One Minute: Definition/Meaning, History & Arguments For/Against
Should you join a trade union, or labor union as it is called in the United States? Well, let's just say that as this video makes clear, there are quite a few arguments in favor of being a trade/labor union member, despite there being arguments against as well.
But while the arguments in favor of joining trade unions seem to outweigh those against when it comes to the individual, how do things stand as far as society as a whole is concerned?
Do trade/labor union-related frustrations tend to build up over time? For example, do other workers end up considering trade union members spoiled... perhaps even at their expense? What about politicians, where do they stand when it comes to this topic?
As the video makes clear, trade/labor unions have had a somewhat "complex" history as of 1794 whe...

As the video makes clear, trade/labor unions have had a somewhat "complex" history as of 1794 when it comes to the US and the present comes with its own set of challenges. By explaining what trade unions are all about, how things work and why you should care, the video helps you pick a proverbial side in an informed manner.

“How come we’ve seen such a decline in unionization in the US?” That’s the question we received from one of our viewers, Cameron when we put out a call for topics to explain. It comes at an interesting time.
Earlier this year, the Amazon Labor Union won its first election at a large warehouse in New York, and more than 200 Starbucks locations have voted to unionize since baristas in Buffalo broke the seal in December 2021. The National Labor Relations Board reports that petitions for union elections are up 56 percent this year compared to 2021.
This level of energy and momentum in the labor movement is remarkable in light of the long, steep decline in union membership rates since the 1950s. Social science has limited tools for establishing what caused that decline, and different experts tend to emphasize different factors. But in the video above, we dig into a few key drivers of low union density in the US relative to other wealthy countries.
