HR Glossary

What is Trade Union?

An organized association of workers formed to protect and advance their members' interests through collective bargaining, political advocacy, and mutual support, typically structured along craft, industry, or occupational lines.

Why it matters in hiring

Trade 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.
