It then outlines the key features of trade unions, including that they are organizations of employees formed on a continuous basis to protect members' economic, political and social interests through collective action. The document describes the levels of trade union structure from the bottom up, including plant level unions, local federations, regional federations, and national federations, which act as coordinating bodies at the top level.
