Despite some progress in advancing the agenda on aid effectiveness for development results,
trade unions contend that much more needs to be done if the Paris Declaration/Accra agenda for action processes are to move significantly forward in terms of real development effectiveness.
Given the shortcomings of the neo-liberal paradigm that has dominated development policy-making and caused persistent poverty and a huge decent work deficit, trade unions call for a
more comprehensive development paradigm that shifts from aid to development effectiveness.
Development effectiveness is defined by trade unions as the generation of positive social
outcomes in terms of decent work, social protection, social dialogue, respect for human and
trade union rights, gender equality, environmental sustainability, and the enjoyment of decent livelihoods and well being by all. To achieve development effectiveness, trade unions call for the adoption by the Fourth High Level Forum of a Busan Declaration on Development
Effectiveness which should address three major goals:
I) Achieving development effectiveness,
II) Realizing the commitments made on aid effectiveness, and
III) Supporting trade union and CSO’s as development actors in their own right.

members for their policies and actions.
Unions are normally modeled on the following structure.
1.MEMBERS
People who pay a subscription to belong on a certain union
2.SHOP STEWARDS( UNION REPRESENTATIVES)
Union representatives are elected by members of the union to represent them
to the management.
3.BRANCHES
Branches support union members in different organizations locally. There is
usually a branch secretary who is elected by local members.
4.DISTRICT/REGIONAL OFFICES
These are usually staffed by fulltime union officials. Union officials are people
who are paid to offer advice and support to union members locally.

6.Organizational growth and stability. With trade union on place strikescan
beavoided thus resulting stabilityand growthof the firm.
15. 1.UNEVEN GROWTH
There is uneven growth in trade unionism. Trade union activities areonly
concentrated in few statesand bigger industrial centers only.
2.LIMITED MEMBERSHIP
Not all people join trade unions. Many trade unions exist in different countries
but there is declining membership per union. This because individuals feels
that the unions do not meet their member’s needs, hence resultsto numberof
employees whoare not memberof any union
3.FINANCIAL PROBLEMS
Financial position of trade union is weak since the average yearlyincome is
lowand inadequate. Things such as subscription ratesarevery low and
sometimes they remain unpaid by their members.
Funds of the union are inadequate and theycannot takewelfare programs for
their memberseffectively
.
16. 4.MULTIPLICITY OF UNIONS(PRESENCE OF MULTIPLE UNIONS IN
SAME FIELD)
There is an existence of multiple trade unions in the same field. There is no
restrictionon the numbersof unions to be registered in one establishment.
The law permita small numberof people to form trade unions. Eg according
to trade unions act 2004 of Tanzania, 2o employees can form a trade union.
Due to this it results to the formation multiple unions in largeamount
5.INDIFFERENTALTITUDE OF WORKERS
In manycountries, large numberof workers have not joined trade unions and
normallyemployers discourage trade unions.
Also not all memberson the union show interest in theaffairs of the union.
Forexample some people may have poorattendance of union’s general
meetings, under such circumstance trade unionism cannot be expected to
makeprogressdue to lack of unity.
6.POOR LEADERSHIP OF UNION LEADERS
Sometimes trade unions are led by people whoare not workers butoutsiders.
Outsiders may include politicians, intellectuals who have no experience of
work industry. Normally outsiders focus on their personal interests rather
union interests.

Someworks fail to understand the impactof trade unionism
due to their lack of education
8.UNION RIVALRY
18. Theseare suggestion/measure to be taken for healthily growthof unionism
1.ONE UNION IN ONE INDUSTRY(MAINTAINING UNITY)
Having multiple union in the same industry lead to inter union rivalry that
ultimately cuts trade union movements, it weakens the power for collective
bargaining. There fore thereshould beone union only in one industry.
The presence of one union only will help to have one policy, one program, one
objective, one method of labour movements.
2.DEVELOPMENT OF LEADERSHIP FROM WITHIN
Leaders of the union must bewithin the industryof workersand not outside.
Outside leadership is one of the main cause for multiple problems of trade
unions and thatcan only beeliminated if leaderscome from within.
3.PAID UNION OFFICIALS
Individuals whospecificallywork for the union should beemployed and must
be paid well. Theseunion officials must be individuals of proven integrity and
who are able to evaluate the demands of workers so that they may negotiate
with employers on equal terms.
19. 4.IMPROVED FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
Financial position of union is weak and must be improved throughensuring
paymentsof membersubscription and finding donations for the union.
5.RECOGNITION OF TRADE UNIONS
Trade union must be recognized and be registered under the trade unions act
in order to secure the union and ensuring its safely. If a union is registered it
enjoys the rightsof the registered trade unions as per the trade unions act.
If it not registered then it is not subjected to the rightsof a registered trade
union.
6.IMPROVING WORKERS EDUCATION
It is the responsibility of trade unions to make workers realize their
responsibilitiesand ensurediscipline in them to perform their job satisfactory
7.IMPROVING WELFARE ACTIVITIES FOR WORKERS IN UNION

20. 1.It promote unity
2.Itensures improvement in working conditions and provision for better
welfarefacilities
3.Spirit of self relianceand self respect

3.Framing healthly labourpolicies. It reduces chanceof
industrial dispute in future
22. 1.Gain sympathy of general public(in crisis)
2.Propose to the government( to enact labour policies to protect
and develop labourforceof thecountry in a betterway
3.It helps in development of industrial economy by maintaining
good industrial relations, thus it will results in higher and better
production at lowercost
23. 1.LACK OF EDUCATION
Lack of education makes workers narrow minded and prevent them to
understand long-termviews.
Forworkersanything thatdoes not results in an immediate rewards becomes
unattractive to them even if it is important for theirown benefits also.
2.UNIONS MAY NOT WELCOME CHANGES
Unions may not welcome changes for productivity methods for the fear that
someof theworkerswill loose their jobs. Thereforethey slowdown industrial
progress.
3.STRIKES ON ILLOGICAL BASIS
Sometimes unions strikes on illogical bases/grounds and causes losses to
producers, community and the nation. Workersalsosuffers becauseof their
loss in salariesdue to strikes
4.CREATION OF ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY OF LABOURS
Trade union createsartificial scarcityof labour bydemanding thatonly union
personnel should beemployed
5.Undue demands relating towages.
