Pl let me know if i am mistaken.

My understanding is that minimum service of one year is not required to become member of a Trade Union.
As the Trade Trade Union Act is silent about multiple membership,we can come across the situation of many workers subscribing to more than one Union mainly with a view to not antagonizing TU leaders.
But, in establishments where subscription to TU's is deducted by the Managements by check-off system, the pracice of multiple membership has been largely contained because no management would deduct from any worker subscription for more than one Union.

As per provision of the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation )Act,1986, Children are those who have not completed 14 years of age. When there is no restriction to employing children who have completed 14 years of age , what is wrong in giving them the right to membership of Union.
And the meaning of the term 'minor' is not absolute. It's a legal term which has gone through a semantic metamorphosis over the years depending on the level of socio-cultural development.

you are right ib saying so coz
As per The child Labour (prohibition and regulation)act 2000
"Child" means a child who has not completed sixteen years of age.
. Child not to be engaged in Work:
(1) Nobody shall engage in work a child who has not completed fourteen years of age as a labourer.
But as per The Minority act minor means who has attained the age of 18 years
so .a child who is 14 or below ,he cannt be labourer.
so he cannt be member of the union..
but after wards child after the age of 14 to 16 can be employed as per The child Labour (prohibition and regulation)act 2000
if we talk about term minor .. we have to see his age as per above given slab

Dear R Sudhakar,
Trade Unions Act, 1926 do not have this section 10(2)(1). Section 10 relates to Cancellation of registration. The Conciliation Officer under I D Act, 1947 in not required to see the maximum no. of members with each of the union. He is required to see which general demand notice filed by the trade unions have support of majority of workers.He is to finalize the representative character for settling the dispute/demands. Let the conciliation officer to decide the matter if such situation arises. He is also to see whether these demand notices have the support of substantial number of workers of the unit against whom they have filed the demand notice with proper authority letters.Pass on the tension to the Conciliation Officer of your area concerned.
