DID YOU KNOW THAT?

A Trade Union is described by the Trade Unions Act (as amended) to be a voluntary combination or association of employees in the same industrial sector of the economy, whether such employees are in temporary or permanent employment, with the principal purpose of promoting the terms and the conditions of its members’ employment contracts.
