union solidarity
Collective labor loyalty
Union solidarity is the principle that workers in a union stand together and support each other's interests, especially during disputes with employers.
The concept encompasses refusing to cross picket lines, honoring strikes called by other unions, and prioritizing collective welfare over individual advantage: The drivers showed union solidarity by refusing to haul goods from the struck factory.
Solidarity transforms individual grievances into collective power.
