The folks that brought you the weekend Urban Dictionary

Group of workers who work together for eachother. A certant percentage is taken out of the paycheck in order for it to work effectively. Before unions some people had to work 84 hour workweeks in dangerous minds, going to work in the dark and waking up in the dark 6 days a week; and by the end of the week owing the company money. Urban Dictionary

The only chance that you have at work! to get a fair shake! the only true friend that you can trust at the work place! Urban Dictionary

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. Urban Dictionary

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. Urban Dictionary

1. Workers unite to fight the man; the man is so damn powerful individuals have no chance, but if we all stick together, maybe we've got a chance to earn a decent wage. 2. The same organization gets people "taken off the schedule" because they won't give up 20% of their paycheck. See irony. Urban Dictionary

Unions were designed to help workers and they did. Lives and working conditions for the workers improved. But the power of the unions got out of control as they took control of the government and made laws. Now the government denies a struggling businessman the right to try to get his business out of financial difficulty by cutting workers or their wages. Telliong people how to run their lives, sounds like fascism. Apparently unions think they have the right to a job and because of that the businesses will go out of business and everyone will be out of work. Urban Dictionary

Contradiction and the funniest thing you will ever see. Urban Dictionary

Group of people who take breaks and several lunches throughout the day. Urban Dictionary

An association that uses thuggery, hooliganism, bribery and blackmail to get the wage level raised above its true value for lazy workers Urban Dictionary
