I didn't understand the reasons behind having a union, but I understand now that its just merely the same as having someone backing you up. I understand that also when in a union job you can receive different benefits and or disadvantages too. I hadn't realized that unions have been established for so long. Also the fact that you can have a union for any type of occupation.
"Today, unions still serve the same purposes for which they were originally founded. Current union agendas include ending child labor, increasing wages, raising the standard of living for the working class, and providing more benefits to both workers and their families.

Unions&id=1119684)
My question to this is can anyone form a union for whatever they want? Or do they have to go through a special process? If anyone can create a specific union wouldn't everyone have a union then! Do you have to have money to create a union or ownership within the company?
"You will need a union authorization card. Contact a union organizer to help you and to guide you to open a union. Set the date of union election and campaign to keep potential union members." (how-to.ask.com/other/how_to_start_a_union)
This is a start to getting a union going. There are several rules and regulations to follow before starting a union. Starting a union to me seems pointless, overrated, and very time consuming. I don't know that I would ever join a union, it depends on what is offered in the union and if it would benefit me.
