This book has been written by an academician who provided the concept, articulated the changed dynamics in the global arena in trade unionism and has been delineated by a professional who had keenly observed a new situation which has compelled management to seek the cooperation of trade union functionaries; paving the way for a mutual benefit instead of the old paradigm of commensal context prevailing before this win-win situation.

The authors have brought out a unique blending of the emerging co-operational co-existence of both the entities, i.e., management and trade unions coming together for a mutual and sublime relationship from concept to completion of the pot-pourri. On the one hand, this book provides the model and framework for ensuring the continuation of this conviviality; on the other hand, this book provides step by step actions leading to the superb roadmap which will help the readers to implement this theory in their organization if they happen to be professionals handling the delicate balance between management and trade unions. The other category of readers – academicians and scholars – will be able to comprehend the deeper meaning in principles and theories.

Reviews

“The book addresses a contemporary issue in Indian Trade Unionism using modern research methodologies. Focusing on three major Indian PSUs in the power sector, the study uses a mixed methods approach to understand the linkages among various variables influencing trade union behavior. A qualitative methodology involving focus groups is first used to understand important variables. Based on the literature and from the results of the qualitative study, a set of hypotheses linking these variables are developed. These hypotheses are then tested using questionnaire survey and the structural equation modelling methodology. Several of the variables (such as benchmarks, compatibility, leadership traits, signature steps, development, cohesiveness, etc.) and the identified links are interesting in Indian context. This study is timely in understanding the complex issues in Indian trade unionism. I hope the findings can help strengthen the management of trade union movement. I believe that this book has brought out new lights on some of the most important aspects of Indian Trade Union in the context of the Power Sector. ”  – Ramakrishnan Ramanathan B.E.
