Exploring the Need for Labor Unions in the US

Full time employees have the right to expect that their jobs will provide security and safety, as well as a salary that will allow them to take care of all their physical needs. On the other hand, businesses have their own goals for profit, low operating costs, and commercial growth. Sometimes, these sets of needs are not compatible. When there is conflict, employees may feel the need to form a union, or a formal body responsible for negotiating terms with management.
