BHARATIYA KAMGAR SENA

ESTABLISHMENT - 1967


10/18

SHIV SENA PHILOSOPHY

"Our philosophy is, the workers can earn their

livelihood only if the factory runs.

Not surprisingly, managements arehappy.Chandrashekhar Malhotra, general manager

(personnel and industrial relations) at Nirlon:

"Unlike other unions, the BKS' commitment to

production and discipline gives a very comfortable

feeling."


11/18

SHIV SENA UNION

Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray shared a wish

with his aides: he wanted to see the saffron flag

fluttering atop every industrial unit in Maharashtra.

Thackeray has realised his long-cherished dream

when the Sena gained control of the Government in

the state.

Boys of the Bharatiya Kamgar Sena (BKS), the

labour arm of the Sena, have perfected a new

brand of trade unionism to oblige their helmsman.


12/18

The Sena union now controls 600 units in the

organised sector and commands the support of

over 1.5 lakh workers, according to its president,

Ramakant More.

Its major rivals, the CPI-affiliated All India Trade

Union Congress (AITUC) and the CPI(M)-led

Centre for Indian Trade Unions (CITU).

The BKS writ now runs among the workers of major

companies such as Reliance Industries Ltd, Larsen

& Toubro (L&T), Telco, Godrej Soaps, Mahindra &Mahindra (M&M) and Nirlon, as well as some of the

five-star hotels in the state.


13/18

ACTIVITIESDONEBYSENA

The BKS is also reaping the benefits of a 'strike

fatigue' syndrome.

It is more amenable than other unions to

technological change and programmes for

improving quality as well as productivity. For

instance, at l&t last year, the union offered to meet

the management halfway for raising the quality

levels in the company.

The union's link with the rabble-rousing Sena isworking to its advantage in spreading its clout and

having its way.


14/18

ACHIEVEMENTSOFTHE SHIV SENA

Shiv Sena and industry

Industrialists were generally satisfied with the

Sena's cloutsince Sena leader Thackeray's

draconian control over the employees would ensure

a peaceful work environment


15/18

Claims of benefits to Maharashtrians

Supporters of the Sena have claimed that the party

has benefited the Marathi Manus (Marathi man) in

Mumbai, especially in the public sector.[However,the Sena has allegedly done little to solve the

problem of unemployment facing a large proportion

of Maharashtrian youth during its tenure, in

contradiction to its ideological foundation of 'sons of

the soil.

Dharavi emancipation

The Sena claims to have played a central role in

the emancipation of 500,000 slum dwellers in the

Dharavi,area of Mumbai, the largest slum in Asia.

The state's policy of giving free houses to slum

dwellers has been mired in controversy ever since it

was introduced by the Shiv Sena-BJP government

a decade ago.


16/18

Improvements in infrastructure

The sena has been active in trying to improve

infrastructure in maharashtra, particularly in the

financial capital of mumbai. Nearly 55 flyovers in

mumbai and navi mumbai and the mumbai-pune

expressway were constructed under the shiv sena

administration.


17/18

CONCLUSION

If the Sena fulfils its election pledge to repeal the

Act, the bks could gain a foothold in the mills, most

of which are coveted for their prized land.

BKS is now aiming to move beyond Maharashtra

and set up a national body-to be christened the

Hindustan Shetkari Kamgar Sena-comprising all the

14 trade unions of the Sena.

The BKS model of trade unionism, with its stress on

ties with employers, is no longer its monopoly.
