power in this collectivity of workers can promote the resolution of a
variety of problems faced by the workforce. The resulting influence of
organized labour in any economy could be substantial.

political and psychological welfare/benefits of union members.

better platform for social interaction among it's members. This can be
carried out by union members being sent for training. Union should
organize seminars, lectures, conferences and symposia so that union
members learn and develop educationally.

Unions welfare services can also include the award of scholarships to
the children of dependants. They can establish and operate co-operative
shops where essential commodities are sold at regulated prices.

·
To improve workers welfare, unions should invest on any the of
production or service they choose being that they have special privilege
on tax exemption on profits.

welfare of union of members should include the opportunity for members
to constitute a formidable pressure group to enhance bargaining power,
thus influencing to a great extent employers and government policies.

this era of civilian experiment in Nigeria (Fashoyin, 1981). Example,

members a feeling of job security to ensure that cases of unfair
dismissal of employer is pursued by union.

needs for belongingness, leadership, esteem etc.
Pursuit of dialogue
should be done cordially between management and union through collective
bargaining. Union should give management it's due respect and discuss
relevant issue with good reasoning and logic in striving for better
conditions of service for workers.
