Featherbedding is one of the approaches that labor unions use to increase the amount of labor required to produce a given quantity of output. Featherbedding occurs when union rules require more workers than necessary to perform a task. For example, requiring a minimum number of crew members regardless of the difficulty of the job is one type of featherbedding.
