The Main Agreement is the first part of all collective agreements for workers who are or will be established between the organizations named in the heading and/or their members, and which are not covered by other Main Agreements.

With members and a union club at the workplace, we have through the Main Agreement and the collective agreements the right (and a framework for) to enter into negotiations with management. In non-unionized companies you do not have the same bargaining rights, which gives the employer almost total control. A union club requires members and a union representative, and it gives you as employees the power that the employer would otherwise hold alone.
