Abstract
In a knowledge-driven industry
like IT Services where people with
higher skills are expected to be
better placed and treated well in
their organizations, the significance
of trade unions is often
undermined. While the employers
and IT forums and organizations
of national importance have generally
been averse to unionization,
earlier studies revealed quite
contradictory perceptions towards
unionism amongst IT professionals
in India. In the context of new
voices of unionization emerging in
the US technology sector with
Google workers coming together
to form a global union alliance in
January 2021, this paper examines
the attitude of IT professionals
in India towards unionization.
