What do you call a group of workers who join to protect their interests?

• A. Trade Union
• B. Job Description
• C. Job Specification
• D. Recruitment

Answer: (A)

A trade union is a group formed by workers to protect and improve their interests, such as pay, working conditions, and safety. Unions negotiate with employers through collective bargaining to set pay scales, contracts, and benefits, and they can provide support or take action if talks break down. Job description and job specification are about a specific job: the description lists duties and responsibilities, while the specification outlines the qualifications and skills needed. Recruitment is the process of finding and hiring new employees. None of these describe a group of workers uniting to protect their interests, which is why the term that fits is the trade union.
