Present study unravels how and why people join trade unions and also what hinders them to participate in unions activities. It throws light on the various types of union participation levels. Further, it formulates different types of participants (active and passive). The paper focuses on four union participation models. First explains role of organizational characteristics, personal characteristic and perceptual variables to predict trade union participation. Second unveils the reservation to join a union. Third is based on ‘organization support theory’ and ‘union support theory’. Fourth is known as segmented model as it separates five types of union members, namely reluctant members, card career, selective activists, apolitical stalwarts and ideological activists.Keywords

This study unravels the lived experiences of Indian women trade union leaders who gave voice to uncountable voiceless women and fought for their rights. The attempt has been to uncover the reasons for joining trade unions and actions taken by them to achieve leadership positions. The study involves a qualitative survey of 41women union leaders in the Delhi NCR region. Snowball sampling was used to select the respondents to carryout semi-structured interviews and the qualitative data was content analyzed. The findings of the study indicated that self-efficacy, political efficacy, support from family, ERD (Egoistic Relative Deprivation) and CRD (Collective Relative Deprivation) majorly influenced the journey of women trade leaders.References
