Forming a labor group, or unionizing, is the process of workers coming together to form an organization that will represent their interests in negotiations with employers. This organization is typically formed to protect workers' rights and ensure fair wages and working conditions. Unionizing has been a common practice since the 19th century, when workers began to organize in order to gain better pay and working conditions. Today, unions are still a powerful force in the workplace, advocating for workers' rights and providing a voice for those who may not otherwise have one.
