PRINCIPLES OF TRADE UNIONS

Principles of Trade Unions
Having been born in this world, a worker has a right to life - a decent life - as any other human being. He/She does not ask for it for anything. She/He contributes her/his LABOR – or shall we say she/he invests her/his labor, which is the most important factor that is required for an industry and vital for the economic growth of a nation.
Principles of Trade Unions
In this respect, it should be understood that CAPITAL alone produces nothing without LABOR. In order to protect and promote their interests including a fair return for their labor, better working facilities and other benefits, workers organize themselves into trade unions.
Principles of Trade Unions
A trade union can be defined as;

A trade union is a continuing and permanent
democratic organization, voluntarily created of,
by and for workers to protect them at their
work, to improve the conditions of their work through
collective bargaining procedures, to seek to better the
conditions of their lives, to secure their natural rights,
and to provide an effective means of expression of the
workers views on the problem of society and politics.
Principles of Trade Unions
A trade union is an organization OF THE WORKERS, BY THE WORKERS, and FOR THE WORKERS.

4. Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protections of his interest.


RIGHTS OF MEMBERS
The structure of a trade Union should be based on democratic principles – majority rules but the minority is not oppressed. The union Constitution and By-Laws should be so framed as to confer various rights to members to ensure its democratic functions.


RIGHTS OF WORKERS PROTECTIONS and GRIEVANCE - If any member has any grievance relating to employment, it is his/her rights to raise this, and to seek redress through the Union.

UNION CONSTITUTION – It is the right of a member to be supplied with a copy of his/her Union’s Constitution free of charge.

SUPREME – Members are supreme in a trade union. They elect their leaders. They frame or decide the policies and rules of the union. All this is done democratically-directly or indirectly.

Members by SECRET-BALLOTS may decide on the following:
Election of union officers
Election of Delegates
Strikes
Fines/penalties/special Assessments
Alliance with other Unions

The above could also be decided by the Supreme Body

Members have the rights to demand for a EXTRA ORDINARY GENERAL MEETING. To deliberate on any matter they consider appropriate.

EQUAL RIGHTS – Excepts as otherwise provided in the rules, all members of the Union shall have equal rights in the Union.

RESPONSIBLITIES OF MEMBERS

It is every member’s duty to pay his/her UNION DUES in accordance with the Union rules. If you are delinquent in payment, you are not a member in good standing and you may lose your right.

CRITICISM
Criticism is the basis on which democracy function. Constructive criticisms contribute to the progress and success of any institution. No member of a trade union should be loath to criticisms, where necessary, of any shortcomings of the leaders. But such criticisms must be confined within the limits of your organization. Criticisms of leaders outside the forums of the Unions must be avoided.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF OFFICIAL
1. The primary responsibility of Union officials is to lead the members and to administer the Union in accordance with the rules and policies of the union.
2. Union Officials must educate their members to enable them to be conscious of their rights and their responsibilities not only as a Union member but also as a human being.


7. Union Officials must always bear in mind that autocracy and dictatorship are taboo to trade union organization
8. Transaction of Union Funds should be carried out with absolute honesty and according to the rules and decisions of the union, and also for the benefit of the members.

It is also part of their responsibility to persistently strive for the establishment of conditions conducive for the progress of the labor movement and the well being of the membership. These conditions include better labor laws, harmonious industrial relation and economic and social justice.
Finally, they must be prepared to accept criticisms without being unduly offended.
