Job Union Match

Which union acts for which job?

If you're working in any industry, it's a good idea to join a union. A union acts on behalf of employees and their rights, including issues concerning wages and conditions of employment. Unions are formed by concerned workers who want to prevent themselves from being exploited and improve their workplace conditions. Unions are vital in maintaining a fair and balanced society. Without the influence of unions, workers would have no voice or power in the workplace. Each industry has a different union to represent them.

Match these jobs to the unions listed below that would most likely represent them. Use the Unions – which union for your job fact sheet to help you.
