2. Definition of Union
A. As there are several definitions and a great deal of concepts which can be applied to Unions, it is necessary to define it before proceeding. This paper will use the legal dictionary to describe Labor Union. The Duhaime's Legalconceptualize union as a defined group of employees formed for the purposes of representing those employees with the employer as to the terms of a collective contract of employment. Lloyd Duhaime according to a legal citation (1944) states that,
Structurally and functionally, a labor union is an institution which involves more than the private or personal interests of its members. It representsorganized, institutional activity, as contrasted with wholly individual activity. This difference is as well defined as that existing between individual members of the union. The union's existence in fact, and for some purposes in law, is as perpetual as that of any corporation, not being dependent upon the life of any member. It normally operates under its own constitution, rules and bylaws,which, in controversies between member and union, are often enforced by the courts. The union engages in a multitude of business and other official concerted activities, none of which can be said to be the private undertakings of the members.

From this definition, it is clear that we can deduce that unions have a structure and function based on the pursuit of benefit community. Besides that,organizations have become more competitive, we live an era of quality, efficient companies, in all of them workers play an important role, so that trade unions should be regarded as an important link within the processes human resources.
