What are organizations of workers that press employers to improve conditions and wages?

• A. Trade Councils
• B. Corporate Boards
• C. Labor Unions
• D. Employer Associations

Answer: (C)

Labor unions are worker-organized groups that bargain with employers to win higher wages and better working conditions. They bring workers together to press for changes through collective bargaining, strikes, and political lobbying, using the power of coordinated action to push for improvements. This pattern of organized labor grew as industry expanded in the United States, with unions forming to protect workers’ rights and push for reforms. In contrast, trade councils are loose coalitions of unions, corporate boards are the company’s management leadership, and employer associations represent business interests rather than workers. So the description points to labor unions.
