INTRODUCTION:
Trade unionism is a worldwide movement and the highly strategic position occupied by trade unions in modern industrial society has been widely recognized. The early unions were formed as partly as social clubs but soon became increasingly concerned with improving wages and working conditions, primarily by the device of collective bargaining. With industrial development, however, local associations sooner or later followed the expansion of production beyond the local market and developed into national unions of the same trade. These in turn formed for med national union federations.

The term Trade &nion’ has been defined in various ways because of wide differences in the use of this term in different countries. #f all the definitions of a trade union, the classic definition of 'idney and Webb’s 1 has been most popular. (ccording to them a trade union is )a continuous association of wage$earners for the purpose of maintaining or improving the condition of their working lives*. HISTORY:
+evelopment of modern industry, especially in the Western countries, can be traced back to the -th century. Industrial development in India on Western lines, however commenced from the middle of the th century. The first organized Trade &nion in India named as The Madras Labour Union was formed in the year -. 'ince then a large number of unions sprang up in almost all the industrial centres of the country. 'imilarly, entrepreneurs also formed their organisations to protect their interests. The first cotton mill in India was established in / in 0ombay and the first 1ute mill in -// in 0engal. This was the beginning of the modern factory system in India. (fter -/ and -//, the number of factories began to increase both in 0ombay and 0engal. 2rof. '. 3. +hyani has observed that the year -4/ is landmark in the history of trade union 5ovement. 6or the first time, in India factory workers united together for securing better working conditions in the factories.
TRADE UNIONS IN INDIA:

#ut of the above mentioned problems only the )5ultiplicity of Trade &nions and Inter$union @ivalry* is selected as the topic. MULTI)LICITY OF TRADE UNION AND INTER UNION RI+ALRY:
The multiplicity of trade unions is a ma1or problem among the trade unions. These multiple trade unionism is seen mainly because of the political outsiders wanting to establish their unions for their own view of increasing their political influence although in the urban areas. The existence of different conflict " rival organizations, with divergent political view is greatly responsible for inade%uate and unhealthy growth of the movement. Within a single organisation one comes across a number of groups comprising or insiders and outsiders’, new$comers’, and old$timers’, moderates’ and radicals’, and high’ and low caste’ people. This develops small size unions which are not helpful for the workers or employees and creates problems such as7 ! •
@ivalry between the unions
•
Aack of ability among the leaders and members.
•
Aow bargaining power.
•
Aack of funds to help its members.
•
Aack of unity among workers.
India has the largest number of Trade &nions in the world but the rivalry between the unions or the inter$union rivalry is a niggling problem. Inter$union and intra$union rivalry undermines the strength and solidarity of the workers in many ways. (n Inter$union rivalry is mainly because of the multiplicity of unions which ultimately cuts at the very root of unionism, weakens the power of collective bargaining, and reduces the effectiveness of workers in securing their legitimate rights. Therefore, there should be )#ne union in one Industry*.

2ractically in every important industry, there exists parallel and competing unions, e.g. on the Indian @ailways, there are two parallel 6ederations ! the Indian @ailway 5en’s 6ederation and Indian 3ational 6ederation of @ailway$men. The same case could be seen in the Textile Industry in 0ombay, where there are two unions ! the Kirni Oamgar &nion 9controlled by the 82I: and the @ashtria 5azdoor 'angh 9controlled by the I3T&8:. (s the trade unions are functioning from the plant level, there is room for disagreement within the democratic structure of trade union. Lven the absence of any legal re%uirements in the greater part of the country to recognize any union as the sole bargaining agent is a ma1or factor which generates the wide$spread and a bitter trade union rivalry. This problem may lead to Industrial &nrest, strikes, gheraos etc in the organization. Reasons ,h- E./0o-ees oin Unions:
2rotection, 'ocial pressure, 8ompulsion, 2olitical beliefs, 'olidarity, Tradition, and 8ommunication, ;ealth and safety. CODE OF CONDUCT:

The concept of recognition came into vogue in the context of formation of multiplicity of trade unions each of them claiming to be representative of the workmen, recognition being given to the union considered to be the most representative. ;aving too many recognized unions would defeat the very ob1ect of recognition. 6or a long time, the ob1ective of one union for one industry has been advocated.

The

inter$union and intra$union rivalry which
threatened peaceful working of the industrial undertaking or the industry. Lach union, as the unfortunate experience shows, tried to over$reach the rival by making occasionally experience and untenable demands. The emerging situation led to conflict and confrontation disturbing industrial peace and harmony directly affecting production.

trade union leaders there was near unanimity that the concept of recognized union as the sole bargaining agent must be developed in the larger interest of industrial peace and

seeking to represent workmen in an undertaking or in an industry, a concept of recognised,
union must be developed. 7
In fact even amongst trade union leaders there was near unanimity that the concept of recognised unions the sole bargaining agent must be developed in the larger interest of industrial peace and harmony. National Commission on Labour chaired by late Shri P.. !a"endragadkar, former Chief #ustice of India, after unanimously and wholeheartedly e$pressing itself in favour of the concept of recognised union and it being clothed with powers of
sole
bargaining agent with e$clusive right to represent workmen, addressed itself only to the %uestion of the method of ascertaining which amongst various rival unions must be accorded the status of a recognised union.
&.Standing Labour Committee of the 'nion of India at its ()th Session held in #uly *)&+ addressed itself to the %uestion of recognition of trade union by the employer.
Planting itself rmly in favour of democratic principle, it was agreed that the 'nion -hich represents the largest number of workmen working in the undertaking must ac%uire the status as that would be
in
tune
with
the
concept
of
industrial
democracy.
he ssures arose as to the method of nding out the membership. he Commission had before it two alternative suggestions for ascertaining
the membership /i0 verication of
membership by registers and /ii0 by secret ballot. 1s there was a sharp cleavage of opinion, the Commission left the %uestion of adopting one or the other method in a given case to the proposed
Industrial 2elations Commission which was
recommended to be set up if the recommendations of the Commission were to be accepted. -hat is of importance to us is that everyone was agreed that where there are multiple unions in an industrial undertaking or an industry, the union having the largest membership of the workmen must be clothed with the status of recognised union and conse%uently as the sole bargaining agent. he underlining assumption was that the recognised union represents all the workmen in the industrial undertaking or in the industry.
Politicalisation :
In a democracy, political in3uence of trade unionism cannot be avoided. 4owever in India, the historical development of trade union movement was inseparably intermingled with political movement through liberation struggle. In the initial stages, it helped union to record rapid growth and gain considerable in3uence with the government in power. In the long run, it has become a curse for undoing the very ob"ective of trade unionism the unity among the working class. he disadvantages are dependence on outside leadership who are not committed to the organisation, e$ploitation of trade unions and workers5 strength by political parties8 to meet their political ob"ectives, multiplicity of trade unions because

With growth of industrialization in the country and progress made in the field of trade union activities the necessity for having multiple unions in an industry has been felt very often. Taking note of this position power has been vested in the management to recognize one of the trade unions for the purpose of having
discussions
and
negotiations
in
labour
related
matters.
This arrangement is in recognition of the right of collective bargaining of
workmen"employees in an industry. To avoid arbitrariness, bias and
favoritism in the matter of recognition of a trade union @ules have been framed laying down the procedure for ascertaining which of the trade unions commands support of ma1ority of workmen"employees. 'uch procedure is for the benefit of the workmen"employees as well as the management" employer since collective bargaining with a trade union having the support of ma1ority of workmen will help in maintaining industrial peace and will help smooth functioning of the establishment. Taking note of the possibility of multiple trade unions coming into . W.2.3o.&+K5L3T7 =?"=/"<==<
existence in the industry, provisions have been made in the @ules conceding certain rights to non$recognized unions. Though such non$recognized unions may not have the right to participate in the process of collective bargaining with the management"employer over issues concerning the workmen in general, they have the right to meet and discuss with the employer or any person appointed by him on issues relating to grievances of any individual member regarding his service conditions and to appear on behalf of their members in any domestic or departmental en%uiry held by the employer or before the conciliation officer or labour court or industrial tribunal. In essence, the distinction between the two categories of trade unions is that while the recognized union has the right to participate in the discussions"negotiations regarding general issues affecting all workmen" employees
and settlement if any arrived at as a result of such discussion"negotiations is binding on all workmen"employees, whereas a non$recognized union cannot claim such a right, but it has the right to meet and discuss with the management"employer about the grievances of any individual member relating to his service conditions and to represent an individual member in domestic in%uiry or departmental in%uiry and proceedings before the conciliation officer and ad1udicator.

CONCLUSION:
The problem of trade union rivalry is a vexing problem among the trade unions of the country mainly because of the multiplicity of trade unions and also for the view of increasing their political influence mainly in the urban areas of the country. The growth of small sized unions have lessened the strength of the trade unions which have greatly affected the workers as it weakens the power of collective
bargaining, and reduces the effectiveness of workers in securing their legitimate rights. The method of divide and rule’ is seen in the case of trade union in the present day world. SU??ESTIONS:
In regard to the inter$union rivalry, the 3ational 8ommission of Aabour recommended the following suggestions by which the inter union rivalry could be reduced7 i.
0uilding of internal leadership within the unions in order to eliminate party politics and outsiders
ii.
2romotion of collective bargaining through recognition of sole bargaining agents,
iii.
Improving the system of union recognition
iv.
Lncouraging unions security and
v.
Lmpowering the labour courts to settle inter union disputes, if the concerned central organisation is unable to resolve these.
It is regrettable to note that these recommendations have not yet been implemented by the government.
