AllRefer.com - industrial union (Labor) - Encyclopedia |
 | | industrial union, labor union composed of all the workers in a given industry, regardless of skill, craft, or occupation (as opposed to the craft union, in which all members are of one skill, such as carpenters or electricians). |
 | | The industrial union is sometimes referred to as a vertical union, since it accepts workers from the least to the most skilled as members. |
 | | Three kinds of industrial unions were recognized : those consisting of all employees working on the same commodity (e.g., electrical workers or brewery workers), those using the same tools to work on different materials (e.g., textile and aluminum workers), and all employees of a given factory regardless of their particular skill. |
