PREFACE

It is a truism that the evolution of the Trade Union Movement in India has been to a large extent shaped and governed by its own dialectics of development. But as a product of Indian social and political environment, it has failed to curve out its autonomous destiny. Baring a few similarities observed in the development of labour movement in other countries, Indian phenomena as of today has acquired distinct characteristics if not a unique configuration. India being a mixed economy with distinct dimensions of industrial development, Trade Unionism in India has evolved neither among the lines of market economy of the developed west or the command economy of the socialist world.

For long, India remained a part of British regime which stunted the growth of industrialisation. Trade Union Movement is of recent phenomena in independent India though it can traced its origin to the era of freedom struggle. Importantly, independent India provided a federal form of government in which states were entrusted the task of industrialisation. As is well known, states have their peculiar problems arising out of local conditions and circumstances with variation in economic development. As some are more developed than others the problem of less developed states are different from the comparatively developed states. Illiteracy, economic backwardness, migration did not allow the inside leadership to grow in these less developed states to spearhead the Trade Union Movement. As the process of industrialisation gathered momentum in these states. trade unionism started in full swing.

Introduction

It is well-known historical fact that modern industrialisation process involves myriad problems which have significant bearing not only on the industrial growth of a nation but on the make-up of its social fabric. The history of industrial development in world politics is basically a history of wage earning class, their hopes, aspirations, struggles and sacrifices for a meaningful life and a productive society. But in the process, they have suffered many historical setbacks and each setback is a prelude to the renewed effort of the working class for a further intensification of the movement. In the process, it has witnessed many blood-baths. The failure of the May Day movement is a historical reminder of that saga of sacrifice and forlorn hope of the working class.
