nonunionized
Lacking labor representation
Nonunionized describes workers or workplaces without labor union representation: nonunionized employees, a nonunionized factory.
The term appears in discussions of labor rights, wage comparisons, and workplace organizing.
A nonunionized workforce lacks collective bargaining power.
The word can also be parsed as non-un-ionized—not lacking ions—though this reading is rarely intended.
