Unions represent the interests of workers and can help push for better pay and benefits. Businesses often oppose unions because they can interfere with their autonomy or affect them economically.
Can companies stop unions?

Employers also have the right to fair bargaining. Labor unions are also compelled to act in a good faith during negotiations.
