What are the advantages of using Unions?
unions conserves memory space..The amount of space allocated for union is based on the member which requires largest memory space...so unions are useful for applications involving number of variables,where values need not be assigned to all elements at one time.
AnswerIts used to save on space.For eg. you have a struct for storing information about insurance policy holders. But there are three types of insurances: Home, Life, Auto. Now basic details about policyholders such as name, address, etc is the same no matter what insurance you are talking about. But certain details are different. So by making a union policyinfo in this struct which is a diff internal struct for each of these policies you can save on space. When you are entering info about a Home policy, then you use the common fields AND only the struct for home insurance. You do not even fill/care about the other structs in the union. Upon storage only the Home struct will be stored, and the others will be discarded. Keep a variable in the main struct which indicates the type of insurance policy and so, which of the structs in the union you want to use. This way, you have just one big structure for all policyholders, instead of three -- it provides a common interface and saves on storage.
===============
The above answers are not correct. Unions do not save memory or storage space. Unions allow the same area of memory to be accessed as different data types. The insurance example above would not work.
<><><>
Unions are useful (often in embedded programming) when it is needed to refer to a data item as two or more different types: e.g. it may be used as an integer for math, but an array of bytes for a serial transmission or a checksum calculation.
For memory preservation, since the space allocated for the union is as big as its biggest member.

Why were scabs unpopular during the late 1800' s?
To be unpopular it is necessary to be roundly disliked, or disrespected. Scab is a term invented by labor movements to describe non union workers who accept jobs with businesses who've ceased negotiating with unions. When unions go on strike and refuse to work because of breakdown in contract negotiations those people who "cross the picket" line to work are known as scabs and amongst unions and labor movements these people are not at all popular. The man who accepted a job because a union employee refuses to work, so that man might provide for his family is not unpopular with his family. It is doubtful he is unpopular with his friends and neighbors, he is just unpopular with labor movements. And the question should be why? If labor movements ever hope to seek any real validity as a necessary component of economics then they are going to have to learn more than they know about business. Unions and labor movements do not care if the business they work at is profitable and many believe profit is theft. The labor movement endeavors to sell themselves as the peoples advocate, asserting that most Americans today enjoy the five day work week, overtime pay, paid vacations, retirement funds and maternity leave because of their efforts. For some one who works on the weekends, has not had a vacation for years, is forced to ask his pregnant wife to work to help out with the bills, labor movements are no more than part of the reason he pays so much for fruits and vegetables at the store, pays so much for clothing and why he can't afford to buy a car. Labor takes credit for your prosperity whether you're prosperous or not and expects you to boycott any business they strike. How unpopular scabs were in the late 1800's doesn't compare to how unpopular unions and the labor movement have become today.

The refrain of the communist movement workers of the world unite has never become a reality.however there is increased convergence and interdependcy in global labor activity.political changes external competitive forces and more open borders and markets have produced some of this convergence.incresed pressuer for convergence has also resulted from the activities of outside monitoring organisations such as the international labor organisation.the market for labour is becoming more global and labour organisations are attempting to respond to this trend
