In Soviet Russia, all who worked were members of the trade union. It was self-evident: if there is a job, then there is a union. Its main advantages were vouchers, sanatoriums, camps for workers and their families. Today, a trade union is about defending workers' rights. The main activity comes from the trade unions of large enterprises. But office workers, for the most part, find themselves outside of trade union life, although they can also unite and form a trade union.
