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 in the rate of unionization. One of the main arguments used to demonstrate that unions represent obsolete obstacles to progress is the ever-increasing hostility and attitude of managers towards unions. This hostility and attitude is a by-product of negativity as well as other factors or a consequence of the combination of factors. Managers continued to show their negativity toward unions due to differences in market composition and structures, changes in labor laws, organization size, differences in public policies, union philosophies, and impact of unions on wages (Campolieti, Gomez & Gunderson, 2013). , p.100). Second, unions are seen as old obstacles to progress because many workers are not covered by collective bargaining agreements. Because these organizations are created to assist in collective bargaining, the lack of numerous bargaining agreements covering many employers is an obstacle to their progress. Where collective bargaining agreements are used, these are negotiated between the company or business and the local rather than national union (Pencavel, 2014, p.143). Therefore, unions are no longer useful as many employers prefer to conclude agreements with their own employees rather than with external organizations. Third, opponents of trade unions in the market argue that these organizations are obsolete due to the enormous structural changes that have taken place in the market. of the economy or workforce due to technological advances and globalization. These changes have mainly been brought about by a paper manufacturer's move to establish new strategies that will increase its impact and relevance in the market. The limitation of this study is the relative bias present in the existing literature regarding the impact and significance of unions in the workplace. Existing literature has focused primarily on why unions represent age-old obstacles to progress rather than crucial elements for promoting and protecting workplace benefits. In essence, 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 significance of unions in the workplace. The findings can also be used to develop effective strategies that ensure these organizations continue to achieve their goals by transforming based on existing changes..
