Banning of Trade Unions will be Beneficial in Growth of the Economy

There is a wrong notion that trade unions are problem makers and they do not contribute anything for the progress of the industry or organization. It is true that the main objective of trade union is to ensure the welfare of its members as a whole. But most of the trade unions believe that Industry is first and the welfare of workers could be made possible only through the organic growth of the mother industry. They could give many positive suggestions for the betterment of the organization to which their members belong. Hence I strongly believe that trade unions should not be banned.

Trade unions should undoubtedly be banned. Now, before you jump to the conclusion I am a far right tycoon, I certainly am not. The problem with trade unionists is their mentality. Many of them have the mentality that employees deserve this and deserve that, yet should do the least possible for the business (including the least possible work). And the fact is that a number of employees simply do not work hard enough. A far more practical and positive way is for the employers show the right ethics and hard work, and to give the employees a decent salary - the minimum wage should be far higher as employees will feel more included and want to work harder (and the economy will be massively boosted).

Yes it is very necessary in all fields to have an intermediate who can listen to the problems, be the bridge between the workers and employers, that is the main task of trade union. Without them it is like breaking the back bone and asking the person to run faster which is impossible in this area.

Trade union improvises on the workers technique, provides them with a better working conditions, ensures the wages obtained are correct and also helps in providing the bonuses.

There is a major lot of unemployed people in INDIA who do not have the educational qualification to work in high profiled jobs. These union leaders provide them with the mechanical jobs where not much innovative work is required and the labour can earn a minimum wages through shear hard work.

I agree with Mr DSK. The topic of the blog should have been control of trade unions rather than banning al together, as the formation of Trade union itslef in a way is to share the powers in an organisation indirectly. Such a thing is required as the workers who produces the products finally and also large in number in a factory kind of organisation should get involved in the decisioin making systems by voicing their views for which the existence of Trade Union is a must. But today what happens in Labour Intense organisations like railways for eg Multiplicity of unioins leads to fight amongst them insteaqd of contributing constrcutively to the organ and get the legitimate demands by negotiations. This sitaution is mostly due to the lavish life style of the union leaders and fiannly end up in manhandling amongst the laboureres. By this the power had gone from the Management to unioin leaders and getting mis used without possibility of fixing responsibility on unioin leaders. Whereas in case of Management mis use of powers can be fixed on the violaters. To come up, some of the unioin leaders mis inform the workers too. In some sitautions, such self motive leaders do join their hands with Management to divide the workesr to rule for their personal benefits of unioin leaders or the Authorties of the Management or both. Instead of service to workesr, it is true that the corrcuption also plays a role in unioinism (no unioin leader can be fixed on corrupt activities) to get some legitimate things done for the wrokers. With the result the purpose of unioin gets de3feated. Therfore proper controled unioin is a must in the Labour intensive production units etc.

In case of the services sector, the situation is ending up with poor customer service to the customers and fellow citizen, the purpose for which the company is in existence. The behaviour of the employye3s esp the PSU or govt employye3s for eg in Electricity, transports, public distribution systems, telephones etc with the customers stands as best examples. No citizen of this country would be have got a good interaction experience with the employyees. The organisation could not control them as a mighty unioins will come into picture if any employye is merely asked by the Management anything about his unexpected behaviour with the customer. If any such consumer reports to the Management and by chnace the Management makes a query on the employye not only it will ende up n unioin unrest but that particular customer will be furyehr harassed. Therfore in services sector a more strict control is required for which the unioin leaders should be given proper trainings by the Management to make them understand that the customer only pays for all of us to live in a better way in the country in whatever fashion they will understand. If the unioin leaders takes a satnd that no compromise on the quality and timly output etc and if any employee violates that thejn unioin will not protect then the sitaution will improve a lot. Of course this is nothing to do with voicing their views in the betterement of service provisioning functions, to mmet their demands etc.

Therefore teh unioins need be controlled and shoulkd not be banneed.

Well according to me I say. Trade union should work only for the development of the employee. They should only act as a medium between the employee and the employer.

And its organization right to have a look on the activities of trade unions, so that they can assure that the unions are not misusing their powers.

One thing I observe here is that everyone is speaking same thing but in different way.

I think trade unionism is good when it really work for the employee but now a days there are many trade unions in India who are more involved on Politics rather than the problem related to their own Employees. So if Trade Union is really doing there own work then its definitely very good for the success of Employee as well Industry but if they are not doing it then Banning the Trade Union is a good Idea.

Yes I think banning of trade unions will mar the development of the country as I believe that the trade unions have selfish personal motives of their leaders and the don't work for the general members. The members are forced to work accordin their ideas as they are easily manipulted to do not know what is right and wrong. More over it is because of these trade unions that we get so many transort strikes.

Trdae union shoul not be banned, because this is platform where workers can represent their issues, problems & demands, but it should be in a proper way. currently what happen to maruti issue at haryana, now by a strike union every thing will be achieved, ther should be some policy to be adopded by gov limiting the activities of trade union.

Hi friends.

No trade union should not be banned as trade union is a intermediate between the workers and employees and an easy way to solve the consequencies and easy way to put their demands or any other problem in front of the management so that they can listen properly and give a solution so that there will be no effect on the position of company. If there will be no trade union then a big problem can rise for the company as all the workers together talk and reputation of company can be low because it is possible that this news will spread in the market.

I feel that trade unions should not be banned because they are the ones who let management to about their workers. managers will try to solve those problems, which inturn leads to efficency in the work, which overall lead to growth of the company.
