| 单词 | organized labour |
| 释义 | organized labour That part of the labour force that belongs to trade union. The use of trade unions to negotiate pay, hours of work, and working conditions is widespread, and is believed to obtain better terms from employers than workers could obtain by individual bargaining. Trade unions also represent and assist their members in disputes over discipline, sick leave, or redundancy. Organized labour may also engage in political activities, in particular those aimed at ensuring that the legal and social security systems are arranged for the benefit of workers rather than employers. Critics of organized labour argue that when it uses its bargaining power to drive up wages it damages the employment prospects of ‘outsiders’, and when it obstructs changes in working practices and manning levels it may even damage the long-term interests of ‘insiders’.
