union protection

Collective bargaining shield

Union protection refers to the safeguards and benefits workers receive through membership in a labor union.

This includes defense against unfair dismissal, representation in disputes with management, and collective bargaining for wages and conditions: With union protection, they couldn't fire him without cause.

The phrase can also describe legal frameworks that shield unions themselves from interference.
