Background of the Study:
Trade unions are instrumental in advocating for workers' rights and ensuring employment stability across various sectors. In Ijebu-Ode LGA, Ogun State, these unions play a critical role in negotiating employment terms and protecting workers from arbitrary dismissal (Oluwaseun, 2023). This study evaluates the impact of trade unions on employment stability, examining how collective bargaining and union interventions contribute to job security and fair labor practices. Trade unions have historically been associated with improved wages, better working conditions, and greater job continuity. However, challenges such as reduced union membership and evolving labor market dynamics pose questions about their contemporary relevance (Adebisi, 2024). The study will analyze union strategies, worker experiences, and employer practices to assess the effectiveness of trade unions in fostering employment stability. By integrating empirical data and case studies, this research aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of union impact on job security in Ijebu-Ode, offering insights for both policymakers and labor organizations (Oluwaseun, 2023).

Statement of the Problem:
Despite the historical significance of trade unions in promoting employment stability, workers in Ijebu-Ode LGA face challenges related to job security and fair labor practices. Reduced union influence, coupled with changing labor market conditions, has undermined the effectiveness of union interventions (Adebisi, 2024). Many workers experience job instability and inadequate protections, leading to increased vulnerability and economic uncertainty. This study seeks to identify the specific factors that limit the impact of trade unions on employment stability and propose measures to enhance their role in safeguarding workers' rights and ensuring long-term job security (Oluwaseun, 2023).

Objectives of the Study:

  • To evaluate the role of trade unions in ensuring employment stability.
  • To identify challenges faced by trade unions in the current labor market.
  • To propose strategies to enhance union effectiveness in promoting job security.

Research Questions:

  • How do trade unions influence employment stability in Ijebu-Ode LGA?
  • What challenges hinder the effectiveness of trade unions in the region?
  • What measures can improve the impact of trade unions on job security?

Research Hypotheses:

  • H1: Trade union membership positively correlates with employment stability.
  • H2: Reduced union influence is associated with increased job insecurity.
  • H3: Strategic union interventions can significantly enhance employment stability.

Significance of the Study:
This study is significant as it evaluates the impact of trade unions on employment stability in Ijebu-Ode LGA. The findings will guide policymakers and union leaders in formulating strategies to bolster job security and fair labor practices. By addressing the challenges faced by unions, the research contributes to improved employment conditions and a more stable labor market (Oluwaseun, 2023).

Scope and Limitations of the Study:
This study is limited to evaluating trade unions and their impact on employment stability in Ijebu-Ode LGA. It does not extend to other regions or aspects of labor relations.

Definitions of Terms:

  • Trade Unions: Organizations that represent the interests of workers in negotiations with employers.
  • Employment Stability: The consistency and security of employment over time.
  • Collective Bargaining: The process through which workers negotiate wages and conditions as a group.
