Abstract

The Indian Trade Unions Act, 1926 with minor modifications continues to be the main legal instrument for existence, continuance and functioning of trade union industry. The Act has given to Indian trade union movement legal sanctity, social status and organizational coherence hither to unknown. Legally trade unions could no more be regarded as conspiratiorial associations against the established law and order and good government. The code of discipline in Industry 1958 also tried to circumvent the defects of the Act by establishing new norms of human behavior for labour management towards each other to promote industrial democracy and industrial harmony. But the spectrum of public policy as embodied in the Act and in other non-legislative measures with regard to trade unionism continues to e the hall-mark of labor policy. During all these developmental years trade unions in India have come to be dominated by state, political parties and other interests.

Looking at these difficulties, Dinker Desai in his General Secretary’s Report before the 4th Annual Convention of the Hind Mazdoor Sabha (1953) had tried to make a case in favour of forming General Unions in India. but the proposal hardly solves the problem, because the same difficulties would be faced, whether you organize General Union or Industrial Unions.
