union men

Workers who organize

Union men are workers who belong to a labor union, or more broadly, men who support the union cause in labor disputes.

The term appears frequently in historical contexts—strikes, organizing drives, collective bargaining: The union men walked off the job at midnight.

During the American Civil War, union men were those loyal to the federal Union rather than the Confederacy.
