Thank reason for trade unions.They have been an indispensable force in achieving the high living standards working people in the West enjoy relative to countries without comparable union traditions and class consciousness. Trade unions have not only empowered working people, who divided are at the mercy and whim of parasitic monied elites, to defend and better their lives and those of their families, but enable working people to challenge the abuse of power such as South African apartheid.
