 Trade union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The labour movement arose as an outgrowth of the disparity between the power of employers and the powerlessness of individual employees.
Many modern labour unions tend to be expansionistic, and frequently seek to incorporate widely disparate kinds of workers to increase the leverage of the union as a whole.

 Labour Relations Special Projects   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In labour legislation throughout the world provision is made for the mega-project, the project beyond the ordinary, both with regard to size and time.
However, such was not the case as a series of applications to the Newfoundland Labour Relations Board ("NLRB") to expand the application of the Project Agreement were commenced by individual member unions of the ODC, and the NLRB purported to seize jurisdiction.
We suggest this ruling was important, and a milestone, in the labour relations success of the Hibernia Project which, in its absence, could have been swamped in an avalanche of the readily available labour board applications and rulings.

In a paper presented to a labour relations workshop in the capital, Gaborone, researchers from the Botswana National Productivity Centre (BNPC) noted that national output was under threat because of frequent strike action, which it said was a result of the hostile relationship between government, employers and the labour movement.
BFTU secretary-general Henry Makhale said the union would favour the proposed tripartite labour forum if it meant the opinions of the labour force were taken seriously by the government.
At the moment, labour relations are at the lowest because of continuing government arrogance, the slow and complicated methods of the labour dispute resolution process, and the insensitivity of private sector employers.

 Europe. (from Labour-Management Relations) --  Encyclopædia Britannica
In the European Union, action on labour matters was relatively low-key in 1994.
The most notable event was the finalization of the long-discussed directive concerning establishment of European-level works councils, procedures under which management would discuss the progress and prospects of the company with workers' representatives at least once a year.
It is in this sense, for example, that one speaks of “organized labour.” In a more special and technical sense, however, labour means any valuable service rendered by a human agent in the production of wealth, other than accumulating and providing capital or assuming the risks that are a normal part of business undertakings.
