NegotiationNegotiation is where union representativesdiscuss with management issues which affect
people working in an organization. The union
finds out the members' views and relays these
views to management. There may be a
difference of opinion between management and
union members. 'Negotiation' is about finding a
solution to these differences. This process isalso known as 'collective bargaining'.

RepresentationTrade unions also represent individualmembers when they have a problem at work. If an
employee feels they are being unfairly treated, he or
she can ask the union representative to help sort out
the difficulty with the manager or employer.
If the problem cannot be resolved amicably,
the matter may go to an industrial tribunal. Industrial
tribunals make sure that employment laws are
properly adhered to by employees and employers.Unions also offer their members legal representation.
Normally this is to help people get financial
compensation for work-related injuries or to assist
people who have to take their employer to court.

Unions have a wealth of information which
is useful to people at work. They can advise ona range of issues like how much holiday you are
entitled to each year, how much pay you will get
if you go on maternity leave, and how you can
obtain training at work.

Member servicesDuring the last ten years, trade unions have increased the range of
services they offer their members. These include:
Education and training - Most unions run training courses for theirmembers on employment rights, health and safety and other issues. Some unions
also help members who have left school with little education by offering courses on
basic skills and courses leading to professional qualifications.
Legal assistance - As well as offering legal advice on employmentissues, some unions give help with personal matters, like housing, wills and debt.
Financial discounts - People can get discounts on mortgages,insurance and loans from unions.
Welfare benefits - One of the earliest functions of trade unions wasto look after members who hit hard times. Some of the older unions offer financial
help to their members when they are sick or unemployed.

Most 'collective bargaining' takes place quietly and agreements are quicklyreached by the union and the employer. Occasionally disagreements do occurand the two sides cannot agree. In these cases the union may decide to takeindustrial action.
Industrial action takes different forms. It could mean an over time ban, a work-
to-rule or a strike. There are strict laws which unions have to follow when theytake industrial action.
A strike is only called as a last resort. Strikes are often in the news but are rare.Both sides have a lot to lose. Employers lose income because of interruptions toproduction or services. Employees lose their salaries and may find that their
jobs are at risk. Usually employers and employees will go to some lengths to avoid the costs of
strike action to both groups. Photolibrary Group
The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS)is often used to helpfind a solution to a dispute which is acceptable to both sides.

Four important central organisations of workers in India are
1. The Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC).
The Congress Party and the top congress leaders formed
the INTUC like Nehru and Patel were associated with it.Every union affiliated to INTUC has to submit its dispute to
arbitration after exhausting other means of settlement
of disputes.
2. The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC). Thisunion serves as the labour forum of Communist Party of
India at present. It is considered as the second largest
union in India.
3. The Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS). It was formed inCalcutta by the socialists who neither approved INTUC
nor AITUC. The HMS was organised with a view to
keeping its members free from any political or other
outside interference.

4. The United Trade Union Congress (UTUC). Those
persons who were dissident socialist formed it. Itfunctions mainly in Kerala and West Bengal.
5. Centre for Indian Trade Unions (CITU). The Marxists
separated from the AITUC in May 1970 and formed theCITU.

How are trade unions financed?
Each trade union member pays a subscription. Theamount varies from union to union and is normally set atdifferent levels according to the amount people earn.
People pay their subscription fees in different ways. Itmay be collected by direct debit from a bank account,deducted directly from wages or paid in cash or bycheque to a union representative or full time official.
In exchange, members receive the benefits ofrepresentation, negotiation, protection and other servicesfrom their union.

How do trade unions recruit their members?
Different unions cover different jobs and industries. Peopleare able to join the most appropriate union for their job or
sector.
People are recruited to unions in different ways. Mostpeople find out about the union by talking to colleagues at
the workplace and then make direct contact with the union.
Others are contacted by the union representative who gives
them information about the union and tells them how to join.
Some employers and personnel officers tell employeesabout the union when they start working for the
organization.

How has trade union
membership changed in recent
years? In 2003, union membership in Britain, estimated from theLabour Force Survey, was 7.42 million. The proportion ofall employees who were union members was 29.1%.These are the overall figures but union membership
varies enormously by industry and by the types of jobsthat people do.
Trade union membership has declined over the last twodecades. In 1979 13.3 million people were members of
trade unions and the proportion of employees who wereunion members stood at 55%. A comparison ofmembership datafor the period 1992-2003 can be seenon the ONS Web site.

34/37
Reasons for fall in Membership A dramatic fall in the number of jobs in manufacturing
industries where union membership was traditionally high.
Larger numbers of unemployed people.
A fall in traditional full time employment and an increase inpart time and temporary workers who are less likely to join
unions.
An increase in the proportion of the workforce employed by
small companies where it is often difficult for unions to
organize.
Hostile legislation - the previous Conservative government
introduced laws which make it more difficult for unions to
operate and keep their members.
5/26/2018 Trade Union
35/37
However, trade union membership is still quite high and
many people are employed in workplaces where unions
are recognised by management for negotiating pay and
conditions of employment.There is also evidence that the decline in union
membership is beginning to slow up. The TUC has
launched a major recruitment drive called 'New
Unionism - Organising for Growth' and many unions arestepping up their efforts to recruit in new industries and
jobs. More and more people are turning to trade unions
because they want the protection they can provide
