Description
Unions are very diverse. As outlined in your textbook (e.g., Chapters 7 and 8) and discussed in the class material, they vary by size and sector/occupation/workplace, by geographical region, by the legal frameworks of their bargaining unit structures, in terms of their governance systems and structures, in their ideology, in their financial stability and so on.
Unions also vary greatly in terms of what activities they engage in and how they choose to service their memberships. For instance, in class we talked about craft unions versus industrial unions and between business unions and social unions.
Chapter 7 in our textbook describes the role that unions can play as institutions in our society and outlines five core functional areas. In class, we discussed how one union, the UFCW fulfills these functions.
- Economic function
- Democratization function
- Integrative function
- Social democratic function
- Class conflict/revolutionary function
Assignment:
1. Choose a union (not the UFCW) and research it through the union’s website and relevant secondary information (i.e., news stories, academic articles)
2. Create a one-page succinct but informative union profile that gives details about the key characteristics of the union – be creative, use visuals
3. Write a brief report that outlines how the union fulfills the 5 functions above. Give concrete examples. If you find no evidence for one or more functions, speculate on why this might be
Specifics:
- Include a reference list using APA style for any references used throughout the assignment. You need not cite references on your one-page profile, but include them on a separate page. You should use in-text citations in your analysis of union functions.
- Part 2: Union profile should be one page only using any design you wish
- Part 3: Union function report should not be more than 750 words and in an easy to read font no smaller than 11 pt.

OUTLINE
EUROPEAN UNION
Thesis Statement: The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union consisting of
twenty-seven member countries in Europe. Over the years, the European Union has standardized
a system of laws, thus developing a single internal market that applies to all member countries in
relation to those matters as the member states have an agreement to act as one. The European
Union policies allow for goods, services, and people to have free movement within the internal
market. The union also facilitates the legislation enacting in home and justice affairs and
maintains policies on agricultural, trade, fisheries, and regional development.

The European Union
The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union consisting of twenty-seven
member countries in Europe (Böröcz, 2015). Over the years, the European Union has
standardized a system of laws, thus developing a single internal market that applies to all
member countries concerning those matters as the member states have an agreement to act as
one. The European Union policies allow for goods, services, and people to have free movement
within the internal market. The union also facilitates the legislation enacting in home and justice
affairs and maintains policies on agricultural, trade, fisheries, and regional development.
The European Union members benefit from the union through the abolished passport
controls for those people traveling within the Schengen area. Besides, a monetary union was also
established and comprises the member states of the European Union, and its main currency is the
Euro currency (Böröcz, 2015).
