Activities of trade unions

NACE code 94.20 covers the activities of trade unions, which play a vital role in representing the interests of workers and promoting fair labor practices. Trade unions are organizations formed by employees to collectively negotiate with employers on issues such as wages, working conditions, and benefits. They are an essential part of a well-functioning labor market, helping to ensure a balance of power between workers and employers.

The main activities of trade unions involve organizing and representing workers, negotiating collective bargaining agreements, and advocating for worker rights and interests. This includes activities such as holding meetings, conducting research, lobbying policymakers, and organizing strikes or protests when necessary. Trade unions also provide various services to their members, such as legal assistance, training, and social activities.

The primary inputs required for trade union activities are human resources, including skilled labor and administrative staff, as well as office space, equipment, and communication technologies to facilitate their operations. Trade unions also rely on membership fees and other financial resources to fund their activities and support their members.

The main outputs of the trade union industry are the representation and advocacy of worker interests, the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements, and the provision of various services to union members. The outputs of this industry are consumed by 88.99 Other social work activities without accommodation, 84.12 Regulation of the activities of providing health care, education, cultural services and other social services, excluding social security, and other industries and organizations that interact with or are affected by labor relations and worker rights.
