private sector unions
Non-governmental worker associations
Private sector unions are labor organizations representing workers employed by businesses and corporations rather than government agencies.
They negotiate wages, benefits, and working conditions with private employers through collective bargaining.
The private sector unions at the auto plants went on strike.
Unlike public sector unions, their membership has declined sharply since the mid-20th century in the United States.
