Also known as Trade Union or Labour Union.
Workers bind together to form Unions so that they together can fight for better work conditions. Without the power of the Union workers would completely be at the mercy of the employers. But sticking together they got a better change to fight for their interests.

The only thing that gives the working man a half descent chance at surviving in America. Rich fucking republican pukes hate Unions because they fucking regulate their greedy asses from ripping honest working people off. Unions are also kind of hipocritical in a way seeing as whenever a Union goes on strike, the strikers only get paid $5 an hour why the heads/owners of the unions make a shit load of money. Unions however are still better to have than not to have, so go fucking shove it you fat, lazy, republican pukes.

A democratic worker organization that enables employees to join together with one another in order to negotiate compensation, benefits, working conditions, and other terms of employment with their employer. Unions ensure that employers are 1) fair, 2) accountable and 3) responsive to employee concerns. Unions establish a process by which to deal with workplace issues and ensure that said process is applied evenly to employees.
By joining together with my coworkers to form a union, we fought for and won better benefits and a voice at work.

This was the official name of the North during the American Civil War. The soldiers were identified with blue uniforms, and different trim colors according to which ever branch of the army they belonged to. i.e. Cavalry=Yellow and Dark Blue; Artillery=Red and Dark Blue.
The Union consisted of 34 states: Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, California, Nevada, Oregon, and others.
After four years of brutal, off and on fighting, as well as the invasion of Northern States (Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania), the determined and enduring stance of the Union finally prevailed, and the South was defeated.

People who banned together in union square. They often have an agressive relationship with each other yet still remain friends. They are a very tight knit group that don't allow anyone to mess with them. It's their group name. Union. is. a. state. of. mind.
