Trade Union
A trade union (labor union in American English), often simply referred to as a union, is an organization of workers intent on "maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment", ch. I such as attaining better wages and benefits (such as holiday, health care, and retirement), improving working conditions, improving safety standards, establishing complaint procedures, developing rules governing status of employees (rules governing promotions, just-cause conditions for termination) and protecting the integrity of their trade through the increased bargaining power wielded by solidarity among workers.

The delegate staff of the trade union representation in the workforce are usually made up of workplace volunteers who are often appointed by members in democratic elections. The trade union, through an elected leadership and bargaining committee, ...

Japan High School Teachers' Union
The Japan High School Teachers' Union ( ja, 日本高等学校教職員組合, Nikkokyo) was a trade union representing workers at high schools in Japan. The union was founded in 1956, when the All Japan High School Teachers' Union merged with some small, independent teachers' unions. It became affiliated with the National Council of Government and Public Workers' Unions and, although initially opposed to the Japan Teachers' Union, by 1959 the two had agreed to merge at some point in the future. Many members of Nikkokyo opposed this plan, and the merger plan was dropped. By 1980, the union had 30,747 members, and in 1990 membership stood at 29,186. In April 1991, the union merged with the recently founded All Japan Council of Teachers and Staff Union, to form the All Japan Federation of Teachers' and Staff Unions The All Japan Federation of Teachers' and Staff Unions ( ja, 全日本教職員組合, Zenkyo) is a trade union representing workers in the education sector in Japan ...

Education Trade Unions
Education is a purposeful activity directed at achieving certain aims, such as transmitting knowledge or fostering skills and character traits. These aims may include the development of understanding, rationality, kindness, and honesty. Various researchers emphasize the role of critical thinking in order to distinguish education from indoctrination. Some theorists require that education results in an improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term. In a slightly different sense, education may also refer, not to the process, but to the product of this process: the mental states and dispositions possessed by educated people. Education originated as the transmission of cultural heritage from one generation to the next. Today, educational goals increasingly encompass new ideas such as the liberation of learners, skills needed for modern society, empathy, and complex vocational skills. Types of education are commonly divided into formal, ...

Trade Unions Established In 1991
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other products ...
