Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Victoria's approach is focused on improving the working conditions and benefits for the workers at the distribution company, which aligns with the principles of business unionism. Business unionism focuses on negotiating better contracts and improving the overall working environment for the members, rather than advocating for wider societal or political change (political unionism) or protesting against specific employer policies (pre-strike activity or information picketing). While social unionism also emphasizes improving the general welfare of workers, it typically involves coalition-building with community groups and advocating for social justice beyond the workplace, which is not part of Victoria's stated goals.
