    Are you talking about the workers’ council? That’s not a union.

        Yeah, they offer workers some union-like protections, but they wildly vary from employer to employer as to how much power they wield.
        A proper union will include things like wage negotiations (group bargaining), worker complaints, worker safety, legal representation, and the ability to strike.
