What is the basic difference between recognition and registration of a trade union? Can a recognized trade union be registered? How does a recognition process proceed?
In any case, registration is a must. Recognition depends on multiple factors, such as the majority when dealing with multiple unions, management discretion, etc.
Indian Trade Union Act, 1926 is a small enactment but very important for any professional in the industrial relations field. It gives the procedure for registering a trade union with the labour authorities.
Recognition pertains to the employer and the trade union. All the sections are in simple language and self-explanatory. Once you go through the Act, the doubts raised by you will be cleared.
A registered union is one that is registered by the Registrar with due proceedings as per our constitution.
Recognized Union
A recognized union is acknowledged by another group of associations for discussion and decision-making in good faith of the organization, where the interests of both parties are involved.
