As we mark Worker's Month, celebrated under the month of May, we thought to turn our attention on the role unions can play in saving jobs if given a chance by employers. We've seen massive retrenchments over the years, from the mining sector, to the post office which was just recently as many of them are shutting down the different branches. Yes economists do point to the harsh economic conditions that the work is finding itself in, but since many workers belong to unions, perhaps the two can come up with better solutions.
