Which term refers to organisations formed to promote the interests of workers?

• A. Trade unions
• B. Professional bodies
• C. Chambers of commerce
• D. Management committees

Answer: (A)

Trade unions are organisations formed by workers to protect and promote their interests at work. They bring employees together to negotiate with employers on pay, hours, safety, and other terms of employment through collective bargaining. They can provide legal advice, representation, training, and support, and may organise collective actions like strikes to push for better conditions when talks stall. By contrast, professional bodies focus on individuals within a profession and set standards, chambers of commerce support local businesses, and management committees are internal groups within a company. So, the term that best fits is trade unions.
