INTRODUCTION
 Trade union is formed by workers to protect their interests and to
improve their personal interests.
 The trade union defined as “A continuous association of wage-

earners organized for the purpose of maintaining and improving
the condition of their working lives”.
 It is also defined as, whether temporary or permanent, formed

primarily for the purpose of regulating the relations between
workmen and employers for imposing restrictive conditions on
the conduct of any trade or business and includes any federation

employer did pay as little as possible to the workers.

associated with the work of the worker of same level
developed mutual understanding and a common solution
of their problems of living which led to the rise of Trade
Union.
PURPOSE OF TRADE UNIONS
Ownership of capital and labour both are divergent and
conflicting interests gave rise to conflicting situations and the
workers thought of uniting it.
The workers did not have any other source of the livelihood
except that of service under the owners of capital who
dictated the terms and conditions of employment.
If the employees bargained as individuals, the employer

would have a better leverage.

 Blue collar workers - all shop floor workers , part of the
production system who operate machines and related systems.
