Statement: Should trade unions be banned completely?
Arguments:
- Yes. Workers can concentrate on production.
- No. This is the only way through which employees can put their demands before the management.
- Yes. Employees get their illegal demands fulfilled through these unions.
- No. Trade unions are not banned in other economically advanced countries.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, trade unions provide a common platform for the workers to voice their demands and protests and thus ensure that they are not subdued or exploited. So, argument II holds strong, while I and III do not. Besides, the idea of imitation of other countries in the implementation of a certain policy holds no relevance. So, argument IV also does not hold strong.

Yes. I agree with the answer B. But, there are also cases where the workers resort to strikes forcing the management to satisfy their needs which may be illegal too. I mean to say that we have seen the positive side of the situation and we need to consider the other side of the situation as well.
