The purpose of unions is to represent the immediate interest of its members and broader interests of working people in society.

We will use a case study approach to investigate the range of administrative functions through the lens of the classical management and bureaucracy theories of Taylor, Fayol and Weber. We will move on to more to a secondary and more in-depth examination of those functions as they are perceived in more current adaptive theories of Crozier, Deming and Lewin. Finally, we will explore the ideal union organization using theories of transformational organizations and sustainably.
