Hi,
Establishing a trade union is always good both for the employees as well as for employers. A registered Trade Union is not an illegal association, they too have to follow certain rules and regulations as per the Trade union Act.
But, just because one person is active in the process of establishing a trade union, the termination is never a good idea, encouraging is always better in this case, because trade union never going to hurt the organization, on the other hand not just you will have more transparency but by encouraging you are binding the strong relationship with the workers.... semi skilled laborers are more emotional responsive than analytical, So I suggest be a part of establishment of Trade union so that from the beginning you are assuring them your support treating them good. As part of the management you must think of win-win strategy being a diplomat.
And as yourself mentioned that he is a productive and when you are searching for the reasons to terminate him it shows he is neither against the organization (when he is productive and active) nor would he form a bad union (when he is hardworking and not illegal), so when such person is a lead it boosts up other worker too to follow his steps in productivity.
So think over it carefully, and realize the advantages compared with disadvantages when you are taking decisions of that sort, because you are not only affecting yourself, but giving a wrong image of management towards workers and importantly his daily food........
Thank you
