Dear HR experts,
Our company is growing, and we all work like family members without any disputes for the past 28 years. I would like to know whether it is mandatory to have an employee union after reaching certain turnover limits or a certain number of employees to meet any government norms. Kindly advise.
Thank you.

Dear Knowledge Seeker,
It is workers' / eligible employees' prerogative to form their union as and when they need to and get it registered under the Trade Union Act. The required number of workers come together to register their union when they fulfill the laid-down criteria. That's it. The turnover or number of workers employed in an establishment for which the union is being formed and registered is not relevant.

It is the right of employees to form a union upon reaching a particular strength and get the union registered under the Trade Union Act for more legal footing. No company can stop the formation of a union if it is formed under the Trade Union Act. However, forming such a union is NOT mandatory even upon reaching the required number of workmen for the formation of a union.

Thank you all for the clarification to my query regarding the Employee union. In fact, neither the employees nor the management want to have the union in charge. I need to understand the meet the statutory requirements, if any.
