Trade Union Membership Eligibility
The Trade Union Act is silent about the refusal of membership to any employee. However, the rules of the Trade Union, which are mandatory for obtaining registration, may provide clauses restricting membership. An employee disqualified on such conditions as specified in the rules may not be given membership. Under general law, membership is open to all employees not below the age of 14 years working in the industry for which the union is formed.

Unless it is not questioned by members of the trade union or the registrar, you can have such restrictive clauses in the rules of the trade union. Regards, Madhu.T.K

The question of dual membership will be considered when a referendum for recognition of trade union is sought. Normally, an employee cannot take membership in more than one unions. Regards, Madhu.T.K

By outsider you mean outsider as office bearers of the Trade Union? The Trade Union Act permits 1/3rd of the total number of office bearers subject to a maximum of five to be outsiders.

Membership
Any worker who is employed in any industry originally established and agrees to follow the rules, regulations, and objectives of the Union can become a member after depositing the requisite subscription fee. His membership would stand canceled upon his retirement from the industry or upon submitting his resignation.
Kindly share your viewpoint on the denial of new members to an employer-recognized union in line with Section 6 of the Trade Union Act 1926.
