Why are unions formed? Explain your answer.There are several reasons unions are formed. The motivation is often nothing more than a desire to improve the compensation they receive for work that they may believe is undervalued. Poor job security,nepotism, discrimination, and the absence of opportunity for advancement are also frequent causes of employee unrest and interest in unionization. (Why Form a Union? n.d.)Employee unionization in a particular workforce usually happens in one of two ways. The first is that the employees believe they are being treated unfairly or unreasonably by their employer and want to band together to exert greater influence over their wages, benefits, and working conditions. (Heavrin, 2013) These employees may then either find a new labor union or organization to create a local affiliate of an established union.The second way a labor union is created is when an existing union approaches the workers of a particularemployer and encourages them to join the union, usually by promising job protection and expanded benefits.ReferencesHeavrin, C., & Carrell, M.
