Abstract
The paper presents trade unions
economic contribution in the context
of the strong historical
legacy. The thrust of trade union
activities has been to engage in
the traditional functions of welfare
and economic improvement
of workers; they do not take an
active role in improving productivity
and economic performance.
Unions, working in tandem
with the government in the
first thirty years after independence,
ensured that workers
were well protected and given all
the benefits. In view of the globalization
challenges, there is a
gradual change and the managements
and unions are entering
into collective bargaining
agreements with clauses of improvements
in productivity of the
enterprise.
