Therefore, employees need a strong voice to articulate what workers need at their working conditions. This is where trade union can offer a respected representative at workplace to negotiate with employer.

From the data analysis, two hypotheses was accepted, which are reason of employee belong to union and union role, while the other one hypotheses was rejected which is employer attitude towards union.
