Why this is the answer
From the official Life in the UK study material — 5.5.3 Right to join a trade union:
Workers in the UK have the right to join a trade union. Trade unions represent the interests of their members in negotiations with employers about pay, working conditions, and other workplace issues. Trade unions can also take industrial action (such as strikes) if negotiations fail, but there are legal rules that must be followed. The Trades Union Congress (TUC) is the national body that represents most trade unions.
