Trade unions are set up as mediators between companies and their employees. They usually have workplace based representatives (from the company) who will act as a "go between" with company management to resolve any problems that members have and also to negotiate annual pay increases. The more members a union has, the better a voice they will have for bartering. There is usually a very small monthly fee deducted from your salary for being a member.
In the seventies the unions virtually ran Britain - having great power and influence over the government (esp. Labour). Margaret Thatcher fought a long, bloody battle with them to curtail their power and these days they perform a much less influential role.
Trade Unions in the UK were initially established to protect the workforce from dangerous and exploitative working practices imposed by the employer, on the employee. In the mid-70's. unions took a grip on UK industry to such an extent that the situation became ridicules. After the Miners' strike in 1984, legislation was introduced which virtually neutered Trade Unions. I have always been a Trade Union member, but given Today's employment climate, your Union "Subs" would be just as well spent if you employed the services of a solicitor that specialises in employment law. ,
