Purpose - Disabled individuals experience difficulties in working life and need support. At this point, the perspectives of the unions, which are the important actors of working life and industrial relations, towards disabled people and their social policies towards disabled people emerge as the most curious subject but not enough research has been done. Methodology – In this study, the perspectives of the unions towards the disabled and their socio-economic policies towards the disabled were investigated by the literature review and document review method. Findings – As a result of the study, it has been seen that although the unions try to implement some policies, they are becoming more and more ineffective. However, it has been observed that studies are carried out by states within the framework of international and national legislation, and non-governmental organizations are engaged. Conclusions – The continuation of the problems of disabled employees despite the legislative studies and the support efforts of the unions and non-governmental organizations shows that a deep lack of social awareness and consciousness lies at the root of the problem. It is seen that it is necessary to raise social awareness by including training and awareness courses in the curriculum to prevent all discrimination in general and change the perspective on disability in particular and supervise the implementation of the relevant legislation by the society.
