what party does union workers are more likely to vote for
The right of workers to negotiate as a group with management is known as "collective bargaining." If a Union wants to be the representative of the workers in a particular industry or plant, an elective bargaining election is held. The workers vote for the union to represent them or not to have the union represent them. If the Union wins the vote, then a collective bargaining agreement is drawn up between management and representatives of the Union elected or selected by the members of that union. A collective bargaining agreement negotiates for things like wages, health benefits, safety concerns, etc. After the agreement is reached, the workers then vote on whether to accept it and then it goes into effect.

Labor UnionA labor union is an organized association of workers who unite into a union in order represent the collectve views (collective bargaining) of the workers to the management of the business or industry, to negotiate with the owners of that business or industry for wages, hours of work, working conditions, and other items that may be of importance to the workers and the owners, such as medical insurance and pensions. Unions usually hold elections in the work place to allow workers to vote on whether to have a union and how much power the union will have. These are known as Collective Bargaining Elections. In some states when a union wins an election, all members of that workplace pay union dues. In other "Right to Work" states, the workers are allowed not to contribute to the union, even if the union wins an organizing election. MrV Unions represent the interests of the MAJORITY of members, not the concensus of ALL members. Unions NEVER hold elections in the workplace; federal or state agencies hold representation elections, about whether to have a union and which one. They are called "representation elections". They are never about the union's powers, that is negotiated with the employer if the union wins representation.There is no situation in which all workers pay dues. The union and employer agree BEFORE the election on which job titles are properly in one bargaining unit. Only holders of those titles can vote. Managers, HR workers, and confidential secretaries are never in bargaining units and never vote.
