Abstract
Leather industry is one of the
high employment generating industries
in India. As per one estimate
the sector can generate
about 6 million direct and indirect
employment by the end of
2015. Trade unionism is a common
practice in many of the
leather manufacturing organizations.
The trade union formation
shows a great deal of variations
from small, medium to large organizations.
In the small and medium
leather organizations trade
unions are functioning under the
industrial union banner whereas
in large organizations unions are
mostly organization specific. This
paper attempts to study different
factors like union loyalty, union
instrumentality, ‘them and us’ attitude,
workplace collectivism
etc. as the determinants of trade
union participation in the organized
leather industry in Kolkata.
