3. INTRODUCTION Definition Section 2(h) of the trade unions act, 1926 has defined a trade union as, “Any combination, whether temporary or permanent, formed primarily for the purpose of regulating the relations between workmen and employers, or between workmen and workmen, or between employers and employers, or for imposing restrictive conditions on the conduct of any trade or business, and includes any federation of two or more trade unions.” Presented by:- Rahul Mahida 3

4. What are trade unions? Trade unions are organizations that represent people at work. Their purpose is to protect and improve people's pay and conditions of employment. They also campaign for laws and policies which will benefit working people. Trade unions exist because an individual worker has very little power to influence decisions that are made about his or her job. By joining together with other workers, there is more chance of having a voice and influence. All sorts of jobs and industries are covered by trade unions. Some unions represent people who do a particular job or work in a specific industry - for example, the national union of journalists (NUJ), as its name suggests, represents journalists, and the union for finance staff (UNIFI) is made up of people who do different jobs in the financial sector.

5. Continue.. Other unions include a mixture of people in different jobs and sectors. The biggest unions in Britain - the GMB, UNISON and the transport and general workers union (TGWU) represent people working in a range of different occupations and industries in the public and private sectors. Often this is because unions have merged with other unions so that they can increase their membership and their influence. Presented by:- Rahul Mahida 5

17. PROBLEMS & WEAKNESSES OF TRADE UNION Uneven growth Limited membership Multiplicity of unions Outside leadership Financial problems Indifferent attitude of workers Presented by:- Rahul Mahida 17

18. SUGGESTION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRADE UNION Avoid multiplicity of union :- In one plant to reduce rivalry against one another. It weakens the power of collective bargaining & reduce effectiveness of workers in ensuring legitimate rights. Paid Union Officials: The trade unions avail the services of the honorary workers due to lack of funds which act as a demotivating factor for honorary office bearers. This position entrusted lots of responsibility, you are not offered anything in return which keeps unbiased justice in danger. Development of leadership from Inside Union Members : Trade unions are managed by the workers, and not by the outsiders . Recognition Of Union : Till recently employer refused to accept the existence of trade union inside the organization . Presented by:- Rahul Mahida 18
