What is Labor Union?

An organized group of workers in the United States who join together to negotiate wages, benefits, and working conditions with their employer through collective bargaining, protected by the National Labor Relations Act.

Why it matters in hiring

Labor Union comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
