What are the factors which led to trade unionism in Africa?

A trade union (British English), labour union (Canadian English) or labor union (American English) is an organization of workers who have banded together to achieve common goals such as protecting the integrity of its trade, achieving higher pay, increasing the number of employees an employer hires, and better working conditions. The trade union, through its leadership, bargains with the employer on behalf of union members (rank and file members) and negotiates labour contracts (collective bargaining) with employers. The most common purpose of these associations or unions is "maintaining or improving the conditions of theiremployment".[1]This may include the negotiation of wages, work rules, complaint procedures, rules governing hiring, firing and promotion of workers, benefits, workplace safety and policies. The agreements negotiated by the union leaders are binding on the rank and file members and the employer and in some cases on other non-member workers.Originating in Europe, trade unions became popular in many countries during the Industrial Revolution, when the lack of skill necessary to perform most jobs shifted employment bargaining power almost completely to the employers' side, causing many workers to be mistreated and underpaid. Trade union organisations may be composed of individualworkers, professionals, past workers, students, apprenticesand/or the unemployed.Over the last three hundred years, trade unions have developed into a number of forms. Aside from collective bargaining, activities vary, but may include:Provision of benefits to members: Early trade unions, like Friendly Societies, often provided a range of benefits toinsuremembers against unemployment, ill health, old age and funeral expenses. In many developed countries, these functions have been assumed by the state; however, the provision of professional training, legal advice and representation for members is still an important benefit of trade union membership.Industrial action: Trade unions may enforce strikesor resistance to lockouts in furtherance of particular goals.Political activity: Trade unions may promote legislation favourable to the interests of their members or workers as a whole. To this end they may pursue campaigns, undertake lobbying, or financially support individual candidates or parties (such as the Labour Partyin Britain) for public office. In some countries (e.g., the Nordic countries and thePhilippines), trade unions may be invited to participate in government hearings about educational or other labour market reforms.
