What effect do trade unions have on employee relations? A trade union's primary purpose is to regulate employee relations between employers and employees through: collective bargaining (negotiation over pay and other conditions of work) and consultation (discussions on business and workplace issues that impact employment levels and terms and conditions).

How can unions help employers in this regard?

Because unions increase wage inequality, they raise wages more for low and middle-wage workers that for higher-wage employees, more for blue-collar workers than for white-collar, and more for workers without a college degree. Unions that are strong set a standard for pay that non-union employers must follow.

What are the benefits of unions?

Unions are associated to higher productivity, lower employee turnover and better workplace communication. There is a lot of academic literature about the economic growth and benefits of unions.
