Craft unions have more independence from their national union headquarters than industrial unions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Craft unions are formed by workers in a particular trade or craft, such as electricians or plumbers. They have more autonomy in negotiating and enforcing contracts with employers, and their national union headquarters have less control over their day-to-day operations. Industrial unions, on the other hand, represent workers across multiple crafts or industries and are more centralized in their decision-making processes.
