unionized employees
Workers with representation
Unionized employees are workers who belong to a labor union—an organization that collectively bargains with employers over wages, benefits, and working conditions.
The union negotiates on behalf of all members, giving workers more leverage than they would have individually: Unionized employees secured a 4% raise and better health coverage.
The term contrasts with non-union workers, who negotiate their own terms.
