Abstract
This study unravels the lived experiences
of Indian women trade
union leaders who gave voice to
uncountable voiceless women
and fought for their rights. The
attempt has been to uncover the
reasons for joining trade unions
and actions taken by them to
achieve leadership positions.
The study involves a qualitative
survey of 41women union leaders
in the Delhi NCR region.
Snowball sampling was used to
select the respondents to
carryout semi-structured interviews
and the qualitative data
was content analyzed. The findings
of the study indicated that
self-efficacy, political efficacy,
support from family, ERD (Egoistic
Relative Deprivation) and
CRD (Collective Relative Deprivation)
majorly influenced the
journey of women trade leaders.
