INTRODUCTION :
A Trade Union is an organization of workers who have banded together to achieve
common goals in key areas, such as working conditions. The trade union, through
its leadership, bargains with the employer on behalf of union members &
negotiates with employees (collective bargaining). This may include the
negotiation of wages, work rules, complaint procedures, rules governing hiring,
firing & promotion of workers, benefits, workplace safety & policies. The
agreements negotiated by union leaders on the employer & in some cases on other
non-member workers.
Trade union organization may be comprised of individual workers,
professionals, past workers or the unemployed. The most common but by no
means only, purpose of organization is maintaining or improving the conditions of
their employment.
TRADE UNIONS
Most trade unions are independent of any employer. However, trade unions
try to develop close working relationship with employers. This can sometimes take
the forms of a partnership agreement between the employer & the trade which
identifies their common interest & objective.

EVOLUTION OF TRADE UNION
The origins of union’s existence can be traced from 18 century, where the
rapid expansion of industrial society drew women, children, rural workers &
immigrants to the work force in large number & in new roles. This pool of
unskilled & semi-skilled labor spontaneously organized in fits & starts
throughout its beginning & would later be endorsed by the Catholic Church
towards the end of the 19th Century. Pope Leo XIII in his ‘Magna Carat’.
Return novarum spoke against the atrocities workers faced & demanded that
workers should be granted certain rights & safety regulations.

INDIAN TRADE UNION MOVEMENT CAN BE DIVIDED INTO
THREE PHASES :
8
The Third Phase :
The third phase began with the emergence of independent India (in
1947) & the government sought the cooperation of the unions for planned
economic development. The working class movement was also publicized
along the lines of political parties. For instance Indian National Trade Union
Congress (INTUC) is the trade union arm of the congress party. The AITUC
is the trade union arm of the communist party of India. Besides workers
while-collar employees, supervisors & manager are also organized by the
trade union, as for example in the banking, insurance & petroleum
industries.
