A trade union organization can act before the employer as an employee representative and conduct discussions on their behalf regarding, among other things:
- working conditions,
- wages,
- benefits,
- work organization,
- changes concerning employment,
- the situation of a larger group of employees
The goal of negotiations is to find a solution that resolves the problem without needing to take more decisive actions.
A union organization can also negotiate employee agreements with the employer.
Through negotiations, employees can jointly secure solutions that an individual employee might not always be able to negotiate alone.
