Lakshmi: This entire month we were listening about trade union. To tell about roles and function of trade union we have TTCU state consultant Mr James Victor James: Normally trade unions works are related to rights and political. So only such unions are seen as rights-based unions. Unions work for the welfare, betterment and growth of worker and union. Unions should work towards their goals on which they have started it. When we work for a union we cannot demand things only for our members. Our demand and work is for all worker. No matter whether they are workers or not. Union's duty is it to smoothen the relationship. another duty is to handle the problems which workers are facing in the companies. And they do have work related to law department. When a worker's problem is beyond the control we should take help of law for that. Another duty is, when a worker meets with any accidents during work, the union should talk to company authorities and solve the problem. Union members should note that whether the worker has planned for his retirement benefit like PF and pension. And also check whether the worker has got registered in all these from the beginning of his work. Union members should also fight if any of their colleagues has any problem or if government increases any costs the members should fight on behalf of general public or if a famer faces any problem voicing for it. etc.
