Opponents of the use of unions for collective bargaining in today's workplace argue that the irrelevance of these organizations is demonstrated by the recent steady decline of the unionization rate. One of the main arguments used to demonstrate that unions are outdated obstacles to progress is the ever-increasing hostility of management and their attitudes toward unions. This hostility and attitude is a byproduct of negativity as well as other factors or a consequence of a combination of factors. Leaders continued to show negativity toward unions due to differences in market composition and structures, changes in labor laws, size of organizations, differences in public policies, union philosophies and the impact of unions on wages (Campolieti, Gomez & Gunderson, 2013). , p.100).

Existing literature has primarily focused on why unions are outdated obstacles to progress rather than crucial elements in promoting and protecting social benefits. Essentially, the available literature makes it difficult to conduct a balanced study on the issue. The results of this research can be used as a first step towards an objective and balanced assessment of the relevance and importance of unions in the workplace. The findings can also be used to develop effective strategies that would ensure that these organizations continue to achieve their goals while transforming in line with existing changes..
