Answer 2

Labor unions organize and represent the rights of employees in certain fields and industries. The average labor union represents its membership by negotiating on pay standards, benefits, and safety and security issues. Some conservative organizations such as The Heritage Foundation state that unions limit the number of employees in a company or within an industry. For example, the United Auto Workers union only allows card-carrying union members to work in companies such as General Motors. By limiting the number of potential employees who can work in a company, the union attempts to drive up the average wage for all workers.
