The primary function of a Union is to promote and protect the interests of its members. It has to advance the social and economic interests of the members. For the purpose, it has to undertake welfare activities like organizing mutual benefits sources, games and cultural programmes and educate its members in all aspects of their working life. In discharging the basic functions the unions have to operate on many fronts, social, economic, civic and political. The bargaining power of an individual is often quite weak because of factors like, ignorance, illiteracy, poverty, indebtedness, social, economic and political backwardness and like so, he is no match for his economically superior employer when he engages in individual bargaining.
