Need for Trade union..

This week's topic in Neeya Naana was on Trade Union & its need.. one side was with ppl favouring trade union and on the other side with ppl opposing the same.. The debate got strengthened after the topic went on to why trade union is not required. The show was quite interesting for me to know about trade union, employees welfare that we dont see in software industry much. There was a point raised on software companies with the culture they follow.. Human Resource manager and their hierarchy that helps. But to be frank if there is going to be a lay off in software company none can help the employee from the falling knife.

Its a valid point made by ppl opposing that they look for other jobs and they are not disturbed if the company is in bad position.. I felt there should have been topic for need of trade union and problem in trade union separately.. In the opposing side there were very few who were able to speak out the problems caused by trade unions. I was shocked to know that directors, employers are killed in problems with trade unions.. thats very scary to know even.. My view on this topic is - have trade union for less skilled labours so that their job is secured.. for others its upto them to join it or not..
