TRADE UNION<br />

A trade union or labour union is a continuing long term as association <strong>of</strong> employees<br />

formed to promote, protect and improve, through collective action, the social, economic<br />

and political interests <strong>of</strong> its members.<br />

A trade union may also be defined as any combination, whether temporary or<br />

permanent, formed primarily for the purpose <strong>of</strong> regulating the relations between workmen<br />

and employers or between workmen and workmen or between employers and employers<br />

or for imposing restrictive conditions on the conduct <strong>of</strong> any trade or business and includes<br />

any federation <strong>of</strong> two or more unions.<br />

NATURE OF TRADE UNIONS<br />

Trade unions are voluntary organizations <strong>of</strong> workers or employers formed to promote and<br />

protect their interests through collective action. The Trade Unions Act, 1926 defines a<br />

trade union as a combination, whether temporary or permanent, formed -<br />

• Primarily for the purpose <strong>of</strong> regulating the relation between<br />

1. Workmen and employers or<br />

2. Between workmen and workmen, or<br />

3. Between employers and employers, or<br />

• For imposing restrictive conditions on the conduct <strong>of</strong> any trade or business, and<br />

includes any federation <strong>of</strong> two or, more trade unions.<br />

An analysis <strong>of</strong> the above definition reveals that trade union must be:<br />

• A combination <strong>of</strong> workers or employers,<br />

• Such a combination could be permanent or temporary,<br />

• Could include federation <strong>of</strong> two or more unions, and<br />

• To regulate relations among workmen, between workmen and employers or among<br />

employers themselves.
