Labor unions are legally recognized as representatives of workers in many industries. There is a big difference between unionized and non-union work environments. Many public sectors are unionized where employees pay union fees and are represented by the union to negotiate contracts for work and benefits. Even though union are often painted with negative images, they do help protect works' rights.
