Etymology
Unionism comes from the word union, which is related to unite and comes from a root meaning 'one', plus the ending -ism, which means a 'system' or 'belief'. So unionism is the idea or system of people, especially workers, coming together to act as one, which is why it refers to labor unions and collective bargaining.
