Simplified Meaning:

Joining a union means becoming part of a group of workers who come together to make their work conditions better. When people join a union, they have a stronger voice to ask for higher pay, better working hours, and safer workplaces. Imagine a group of friends deciding to speak to their teacher about a problem in class. Alone, each friend might be nervous or ignored, but together, they are more likely to be heard and get help. For example, in history, many factory workers faced long hours and low pay. When they formed unions, they were able to negotiate for fair wages and reasonable hours. So, when someone suggests "join the union," they are encouraging you to work with others to improve your job conditions. By joining, you can help make things better not just for yourself, but for everyone you work with. It's an advice to not face challenges alone but use the power of a group to bring positive change.
