Abstract:

This study investigates the impact of trade unions on work performance within the jute manufacturing sector in West Bengal, India. The jute industry has historically been a significant economic driver in the region, employing a large labor force. However, the presence of trade unions in this sector has shaped labor relations and workplace dynamics. Through a review of existing literature and empirical analysis, this study examines the various ways in which trade unions influence work performance in jute manufacturing units.

The study explores the role of trade unions in negotiating wages, benefits, and working conditions on behalf of workers. Furthermore, the study investigates the potential for trade unions to facilitate conflict resolution and communication between labor and management. Effective grievance mechanisms and dispute resolution processes can mitigate tensions in the workplace, fostering a more collaborative and harmonious atmosphere conducive to higher work performance. Moreover, the study examines the impact of trade unions on workforce empowerment and participation in decision-making processes. However, the study also acknowledges potential challenges associated with trade union presence, such as industrial actions and disruptions to production. Strikes and labor disputes can temporarily disrupt operations and negatively impact work performance, highlighting the importance of constructive labor-management relations and effective conflict resolution mechanisms.

The Trade Unions are built for the benefit of the organization and provide a platform for effective coordination between employees and management. Through this study, the researcher aims to identify the impact of the Trade Union on the productivity of the employees of the jute industry. Furthermore, maximizing the certainty and minimizing the uncertainty is the main focus of the study. Overall, this study contributes to a better understanding of the complex relationship between trade unions and work performance in the jute manufacturing industry of West Bengal. By analyzing the various mechanisms through which trade unions influence workplace dynamics, the study provides insights that can inform policy-making and managerial practices aimed at enhancing productivity and labor relations in this important sector.
