Wikipedia:WikiProject Organized Labour/Labour representation

Welcome to the Representation department of WikiProject Organized Labour. This page contains information related to the inclusion of employees and their unions in the primary articles about businesses.

Purpose
Employees and their unions are an essential part of any business. This department provides tools and guidelines for including employee information in business articles. These guidelines are intended to provide legitimate awareness of employees (and specifically their trade unions) while also establishing NPOV guidelines.

Representation
Every primary article about a specific business (e.g. IBM) should contain information about its employees. This may range from a specific ==Employees== section to a ==Labour relations== section, depending on the article.

Specific trade union names and membership numbers should be included in the article.

NPOV
It is important to remember that the article is about the business, not the trade union, and care should be taken to ensure that information included relates directly to the business.

In general, this department is interested in establishing specific facts:
 * how many workers are employed in the company
 * how many are represented by trade unions
 * the names of the trade unions involved

More detailed editing, such as labour relations, are beyond the scope of this department.

Templates

 * Infobox Union work
 * Infobox Union work many

These templates are available to be placed on business articles. They are designed to fit directly below the standard Infobox Company.

Care should be taken not to overwhelm the article with the Infobox Union work tag. In some instances (e.g. GM) there may be many unions operating on a single floor, and a long list of union tags may well be interpreted as POV in and of itself. In these cases it would be preferred to use Infobox Union work many which redirects the reader to the proscribed employee related sub-section.
