unionized workers
Collectively bargaining employees
Unionized workers are employees 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 leverage they wouldn't have individually: The unionized workers voted to strike.
Unionized workplaces typically have formal grievance procedures and seniority systems.
