Growth of Trade Unions


The growth of trade union in India took place quite slowly and the trade union movement can be divided into three phases The first phase (1850 - 1900) - The inception of trade unions. Bombay Mill-Hands Association came up by this time
The working and living conditions of the labor were poor and their working hours were long. Capitalists were only interested in their productivity and profitability.

the wages were also low and general economic conditions were poor in industries. In order to regulate the working hours and other service conditions of the Indian textile laborers, the Indian Factories Act was enacted in 1881. As a result, employment of child labor was prohibited Many strikes took place in the two decades and taught workers to understand the power of united action even though there was no union in real terms.

The second phase (1900 - 1946) Development of organized trade unions and political movements of the working class.
Between 1918 and 1923, many unions came into existence in the country. At Ahmadabad, under the guidance of Mahatma Gandhi, occupational unions like spinners unions and weavers unions were formed. These unions federated into industrial union known as Textile Labor Association in 1920. In 1920, the First National Trade union organization (The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC)) was established.

Many of the leaders of this organization were leaders of the national Movement. In 1926, Trade union law came up with the efforts of Mr. N N Joshi that became operative from 1927. During 1928, All India Trade Union Federation (AITUF) was formed.

The third phase began with the emergence of independent India (in 1947). The partition of country affected the trade union movement particularly Bengal and Punjab. By 1949, four central trade union organizations were functioning in the country:
The All India Trade Union Congress, The Indian National Trade Union Congress, The Hindu Mazdoor Sangh, and The United Trade Union Congress

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, white-collar employees, supervisors and managers are also organized by the trade unions, as for ex in the Banking, Insurance and Petroleum industries.

Indian workforce consists of 430 million workers, growing 2% annually


The Indian labor markets consist of three sectors: The rural workers, who constitute about 60 per cent of the workforce. Organized sector, which employs 8 per cent of workforce, and The urban informal sector (which includes the growing software industry and other services, not included in the formal sector) which constitutes the rest 32 per cent of the workforce.
