Unity Is Strength This is probably one of the oldest trade union slogans. Only by combining together could groups of workers improve their working terms and conditions and increase salaries. They were also able to speak with one voice and achieve through collective bargaining what cannot be gained through individual negotiation.
The old trade union slogan still remains as relevant today as it did then. “Pick up a match and try to break it that’s easy, now pick up twenty matches together and try to break them”.
