Labor Union is a group of workers organized to achieve their rights about problems or common goal in their jobs.

And so, in September 1965, a grape picker’s strike started in California, followed a national boycott of California grapes in September 1967. It was not until July 1970, when the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee signed a contract that ended the grape strike/boycott…

Walter Gordon Merritt highly favored the “open shop” because he believed it allowed for union members and non-union members the opportunity to be employed. They had the chance if they were non-union members to join the union once employed as well. There was no discrimination against either unionist or non-unionist at “open shops” which was the great thing about them. Merritt believed closed shops “means closing the doors of industry to all but union men and closing transportation and the markets…

Therefore, this greediness can lead to a lack of trust between an employee and the employer and also result in a strike action.

The two unions are together representing service works, installers, repairmen,…
