A trade union is a group of employees who join together to maintain and improve their conditions of employment. The typical activities of trade unions include providing assistance and services to their members, collectively bargaining for better pay and conditions for all workers, working to improve the quality of public services, political campaigning and industrial action.

Nearly seven million people in the UK belong to a trade union. There is a trade union for doctors - the British Medical Association (BMA) - but there isn't yet a trade union for physician associates. I spoke with Susan Singleton, who has begun to make progress towards setting up a PA union about her plans.
