The common goal of both public and private labour unions is to:

• A. Protect the rights of employees and improve their working conditions
• B. Supervise, train, evaluate, and discipline employees during all unit activities
• C. Educate and change crew member behaviours
• D. Hold participants accountable for their assigned tasks

Answer: (C)

Unions focus on informing and guiding workers to operate safely and effectively, using education to raise awareness of rights, standards, and procedures. By providing training and information, they aim to shape how crew members act on the job, promoting safety, fairness, and compliance with agreements. This combination of knowledge and behavioral influence helps create a safer, more productive workplace across both public and private sectors. While management handles supervision and discipline and assigns tasks, the unions’ role centers on educating members and encouraging behaviors that support shared goals.
