Mandatory recognition for trade unions in all factories

Now, factories across the country might soon have to recognise a trade union as representative of its workforce and engage in dialogue with it in case of any dispute.
The Union Labour Ministry has proposed a trade union in a factory to be empowered as the 'principal bargaining agent' for settling disputes or engaging in discussion with employees.
Presently, there is no provision for recognition of trade unions in India's central labour laws. A provision in this regard would be inserted in the proposed Industrial Relations bill, after discussions with industry and workers' representatives on July 14. However, states will be free to either frame their own laws or follow the one mandated by Parliament as the subject falls under concurrent list.
