Trade union is an association either of employees or

employers or of independent workers.

It is a relatively permanent formation of workers. It is not atemporary or casual combination of workers.

It is formed for securing certain economic, social benefits tomembers.

Collective strength offers a sort of insurance cover tomembers to fight against irrational, arbitrary and illegalactions of employers. Members can share their feelings,exchange notes and fight the employer quite effectivelywhenever he goes off the track.
