unionizing
Workers banding together
Unionizing is the process of organizing workers into a labor union or bringing a workplace under union representation.
Workers unionize to negotiate collectively for better wages, benefits, and working conditions: The warehouse employees are unionizing.
Management often resists unionizing efforts.
