THE PHILOSOPHY OF TRADE UNIONS:
SOCIAL JUSTICE
The philosophy of trade unions is to distribute the profits from production to the biggest number of people. This philosophy is what the Philippine Constitution calls social justice. Social justice is necessary in an economic set-up dominated by capitalism which is the case of the Philippines.
The existence of labor unions is a necessary development of the industrial revolution and is recognized as one of the effective means by which workers may obtain protection of their rights and privileges.
