What is a labor representative?

Labor representatives, also known as union representatives or labor union reps, are individuals who act on behalf of workers in negotiations with employers. They work to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and proper treatment of employees by representing their interests during collective bargaining, grievance procedures, and workplace disputes. Labor representatives may also educate workers about their rights, organize union activities, and help enforce labor agreements. Their goal is to protect and promote the rights and well-being of employees in the workplace.
