trade union (複數 trade unions trades unions)

  1. 工會
    • 2013年9月28日, Kenan Malik, “London Is Special, but Not That Special”, 出自 New York Times[1]:
      When the first wave of postwar immigrants arrived in Britain in the 1950s and ’60s, it was a period of rising wages, full employment, an expanding welfare state and strong trade unions. Today, Britain’s manufacturing base has all but disappeared, working-class communities have disintegrated, unions have been neutered and the welfare state has begun to crumble.
      (請為本引文添加中文翻譯
    近義詞:union, labour union (加拿大), labor union (加拿大美國)
