Labor unions were created by workers to protect them from abuse by employers. Before labor unions people did not have set work days, overtime, breaks, set wages, due process when a problem comes up, not be fired at will , weekends off, holidays off, insurance or retirement . Work place injuries go up without union protection to insure that the work place is free of hazards that can harm the workers. Wages are lower in nonunion shops, and workers are not represented when a problem comes up with management . Today, many of the rights gained by workers are slowly fading away as unions come under attack.
