Motivation[edit]
Organizations that represent workers for example trade unions, affinity groups etc.., should be a property of companies (Q783794) Shushugah (talk) 18:39, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
Support I was in touch and advised the proposer during an editathon. Seems like a useful property to me.--Pharos (talk) 18:53, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
Support Is there maybe some better way to phrase this? affiliated labor organisation maybe? Company is also too narrow. Many non-company organizations have employees which are represented, including trade unions themselves. Matthias Winkelmann (talk) 10:45, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
- I think multiple aliases will be needed but I like your recommendation and will modify proposal to party include that name (avoiding labor/labour in favor of worker for simplicity). No matter what field name we come up with. I completely agree, that company is too narrow, when we really mean something like an employer, whether it's a company, an NGO, a university, or even a trade union, if we want to be meta. I looked at the property employer (P108) and there are several constraints we could use, in addition to the company, whether it is a cultural institution, organization, government institution, university etc.. I am curious/worried about how this definition would be applied in the different legal contexts across different countries, and also the situation where one company, has multiple affiliated labor organizations.
