The minimum number of employees to register a trade union is seven. At the same time the Trade Union Act also stipulates that at least 10 percent of the total workers or 100 workers, whichever is less, should be persons employed in the establishment. This implies that if the number of employees is less than seven, they cannot register a union. If you have, say, 100 employees, then at least 10 persons should be members of the Union and if you have, say 1500 employees, trade union can be registered with 100 employees for which 150 workers (10% of 1500) is not required.
