Abstract
With growth in women trade
union membership in India, it is
crucial to understand who carries
the trade union responsibilities
because past research has
discovered gap between women
membership and participation.
This article explores the trade
union participation of women in
a mixed gender union set up located
in the Eastern India. In the
case of women trade union members
“full participation remains
a myth” is a key finding of the
study. Masculine structure of entire
industry,lower social acceptance
of women’s union activity
and existing family responsibilities
have made it difficult for
women to reach full participation.
