University Unionism. Reflection and Commitment

Labor relations establish links between employers and workers and are essential for the smooth running of companies, factories, and service providers. In general, they are the guiding force behind the proper functioning of the labor community and its workplace. The history of labor unions is not easy; its complexity allows us to understand the different movements throughout history in search of better working conditions and social justice. From differences in paid activities to the establishment of working hours, labor relations range from the most basic to the most elaborate activities. In the field of education, it is possible to find that the relations between the academic workforce and the employers are a good example for analyzing the importance of academic unionism, particularly at the university level. In this way, university unionism not only has the challenge of defending working conditions but also develops opportunities for these conditions to improve, not only in the workplace but also as a guarantee of maintaining the functioning of educational institutions and defending the quality of education and the training of students committed to society.
