trade unions

Unionism refers to the practices and ideologies of trade unions. Sidney and Beatrice Webb introduced the 1920 edition of their classic work, The History of Trade Unionism, with the understanding that what trade unions do is to collectively organize wage earners in association to maintain or improve the conditions of their working lives.
