yellow union

Designating a trade union which favours the interests of the employers (as opposed to employees) or is opposed to militant action or strikes (frequently in yellow union); (hence) of, belonging to, or characteristic of such a trade union. Often depreciative in later use. [Originally with reference to a particular French trade union, after French syndicat jaune (1900 or earlier), so called with reference to the colour of their badges, itself apparently so called in contrast to syndicat rouge , lit. ‘red union’ (1900 or earlier) so called with reference to the symbolic colour of socialism (compare red adj. 18).]
