Introduction
Technological improvement means a project that results in the ability of the region to enhance service in areas, including broadband access, web site creation, wireless internet services, computer programming, computer servers, computer networks, computer data- bases, electronic training modules, electronic media and any other technological areas deemed eligible by the secretary. A labor union is an organization formed by workers in a particular trade, industry, or company for the purpose of improving pay, benefits, and working conditions. Officially known as a “labor organization,” and also called a “trade union” or a “workers union,” a labor union selects representatives to negotiate with employers in a process known as collective bargaining. Unions and technological improvements are mutually complementary. Rather than using them altogether, they can be used in place of one another.
