Trade unions in the United States were first organized in the early nineteenth century. The main purpose of a trade union is to collectively bargain with employers for wages, hours, and working conditions. We can define labour union like an association, combination, or organization of employees who band together to secure favourable wages, improved working conditions, and better work hours, and to resolve grievances against employers.
Trade unions are entitled to conduct a strike against employers. A strike is usually the last resort of a trade union, but when negotiations have reached an impasse, a strike may be the only bargaining tool left for employees.
Robert Reich, Secretary of Labor under President Clinton, has written: "Organized labor is an aging, doddering prize fighter still relishing trophies earned decades ago." But in the next breath, he wrote: "But it's the only fighter in that corner of the ring. There's no other countervailing force against the overriding power of business and finance."
[...] It will change a lot of things into the relation between workers, employers and this possibility of labour union membership. This is not the only one solution to fight against this disappearance of trade union, but the first step. This Employee Free Choice Act is a very important recognition of the importance of trade union. With this act, maybe labour union will be reborn. The number of workers who want to be member, will be grow up. With this text, labour union will have a more important place in politic. [...]

That's the most important question. In my opinion union trade have to change, to modernize them. The American legislation about it have to change too. The Obama's election is a very important step for the future of union trade. Of course, Obama didn't forget how he is became the American president. [...]
[...] But on the other side, labour union are still very important in a country like the USA. The last election is the most important example of it. Today, labour union in United States of America are not on the top. This problem concerned not only the USA but all country in the world. The evolution of our world, of the economy in the world, show us that labour union are less important than in the past. But is it the end of labour union? [...]

[...] People who have power, have to respect and have not to go beyond this power. A labour union is the best thing in a society to be careful about it. Even if a lot of people think that union labour don't respect people by blocking street, station, or airport, they play a major role in our democracy. I hope that this concept of liberty and democracy don't disappear. The Employee Free Choice Act is in my opinion, the first stage of labour union revival. [...]
