What is Movement: Definition and 630 Discussions

The labour movement or labor movement consists of two main wings: the trade union movement (British English) or labor union movement (American English), also called trade unionism or labor unionism on the one hand, and the political labour movement on the other.

The trade union movement consists of the collective organisation of working people developed to represent and campaign for better working conditions and treatment from their employers and, by the implementation of labour and employment laws, from their governments. The standard unit of organisation is the trade union.The political labour movement in many countries includes a political party that represents the interests of employees, often known as a "labour party" or "workers' party". Many individuals and political groups otherwise considered to represent ruling classes may be part of, and active in, the labour movement.The labour movement developed in response to the depredations of industrial capitalism at about the same time as socialism. However, while the goal of the labour movement is to protect and strengthen the interests of labour within capitalism, the goal of socialism is to replace the capitalist system entirely.

    Particle Movement: Vector or Quanta?

    Does a elemental particle move through all points along a vector or does it move in "ticks" of a finite quanta? Or in terms of waves and probability, if we measure the location of a particle at a certian time, will the particle be evenly distributed along all possible points of its vector...

    Exploring Particle Movement in a Magnetic Field

    Here is an excerpt from a book: Notice also how the charged particle is captured by the magnetic field, just drifting along the field direction. In my book, the field direction is in the y-direction, but the in addition to the particle having an initial y velocity, it had an initial z velocity...

    Question About Speed Of Movement Through Materials
