Employment opportunities refer to the availability of jobs or positions within a company or industry. They can vary based on market demand and economic conditions.
A trade union is an organization formed by workers to protect their rights and interests. It negotiates with employers on behalf of its members regarding wages, working conditions, and benefits.
A pay increase is an adjustment to an employee's salary or wages, typically reflecting their performance, cost of living adjustments, or changes in job responsibilities.
Industrial action refers to activities undertaken by workers, such as strikes or work stoppages, to express grievances or demand changes in their working conditions or pay.
