Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An industrial union organizes workers from a wide range of industries and trades within a particular industry with the aim of gaining bargaining power. These unions are concerned with improving the pay, benefits, and working conditions of their members. They are not primarily interested in increasing the demand for workers or restricting the supply of labor through licensing requirements, as suggested in options A and B. The effectiveness of an industrial union is not necessarily tied to the level of competition in the industry, therefore option D is also incorrect.
