Indian trade union movement

The Indian trade union movement is a collective effort by workers to protect their rights, improve working conditions, and advocate for fair wages. Established during the colonial period and gaining momentum post-independence, these unions represent various sectors like industry, agriculture, and services. They organize strikes, negotiations, and campaigns to influence labor laws and policies, aiming to ensure job security and social justice. The movement reflects workers' collective power to negotiate with employers and the government, fostering a balance of interests and promoting equitable economic growth in India.
