Trade union and its classifications,types,policies and condition in different...swarna dey
Trade union, also called labour union , association of labourers in a particular trade,industry, or company, created for the purpose of securing improvements in pay, benefits, working conditions, or social and political status through collective bargaining. Generally, its membership consists of worlers and union leaders, united to protect and promote their common interests.
In each country, there is a trade union legislation(usually a Trade Union Act) gives a legal definition of a trade union, and sets out its objectives.A labor union of workers in related crafts, as distinguished from general workers or a union including all workers industry.
Trade union, also called labourunion , association of laborers in a particular trade, industry, or company, created for the purpose of securing improvements in pay, benefits, working conditions, or social and political status through collective bargaining. (Schumpeter j 2008)
Labor unions or trade unions are organizations formed by workers from related fields that work for the common interest of its members. They help workers in issues like fairness of pay, good working environment, hours of work and benefits. They represent a cluster of workers and provide a link between the management and workers.(Rein chard 1974)
The history of trade union dates back to the guild system that started in Europe, this system aimed to protect selected professions by controlling of advancement and skill mastery. This is how unions came into existence, and is the first example of how numerous workers join together to create their own rules instead of following those set by their employers.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Unions
2. Working in the United States
Workers in industrial
America faced monotonous
work, dangerous working
conditions, and an uneven
division of income between
the wealthy and the working
class.
Between 1865 and 1897, the
United States experienced
deflation, or a rise in the
value of money.
Relations between workers
and employers were made
more difficult by deflation.
Deflation caused prices to
fall and companies to cut
wages.
To the workers, it seemed
their company wanted to pay
them less for the same work.
Workers felt the only way to
improve their working
environment was to organize
unions.
3. Early Unions
Two types of workers were a
part of industrial America.
Craft workers had special
skills and were generally
paid more.
Common laborers had few
skills and as a result
received lower wages.
In the 1830s, craft workers
formed trade unions, which
were unions limited to
people with specific skills.
By the early 1870s, there
were over 30 national trade
unions in the United States.
Employers opposed
industrial unions, which
united all craft workers and
common laborers in a
particular industry.
Companies went to great
lengths to prevent unions
from forming.
Companies would have
workers take oaths or sign
contracts promising not
to join a union.
They would also hire
detectives to identify union
organizers.
4. Early Unions
Workers who organized a
union or strike were fired and
put on a blacklist–a list of
troublemakers.
Once blacklisted, a worker
could get a job only by
changing trade, residence, or
his or her name.
If a union was formed,
companies used a lockout to
break it.
Workers went without pay and
were locked out of the
property.
There were no laws that gave
workers the right to organize. Longshoremen Union, NY 1882
5. Karl Marx’s (1818–1883) “scientific
socialism”
This German spent most of his
adult life in Britain where he
developed his radical critiques
of capitalism, history, and
revolutionary change. He
called upon the revolutionary
tradition of the French
Revolution and merged it with
a “scientific” analysis of
history to argue that
capitalism was inherently
unstable and would collapse in
the flames of a worldwide
workers’ revolution. He failed
to foresee the rise of a large
middle class of white-collar
workers and the spread of
nationalism. Both forces
weakened the revolutionary
potential of industrializing
societies. His followers would
form a variety of political
parties with the Communists
being some of the most radical.
6. Marxism
Popular in Europe, Marx felt it was the class struggle between
the workers and the owners that shaped society.
He believed the workers would revolt and gain control.
After the revolution, Marx believed a socialist society would
be created in which the wealth was evenly divided, and classes
would no longer exist.
Many labor supporters agreed with Marxism, and some
supported the idea of anarchism.
Anarchists believed society did not need government and that
a few acts of violence would cause the government to collapse.
As ideas of Marxism and anarchism spread in Europe, tens of
thousands of immigrants arrived in the United States.
7. Marxist-Socialist fail in U.S.
People began to associate Marxism and anarchism
with immigrants.
They became suspicious of unions as well.
Socialism had few followers in a culture that
admired independence and disliked the idea of big
government.
Moreover, with a standard of living higher than
anywhere else in the world and a growing white-
collar middle class, radical politics found few
adherents.
8. The Struggle to Organize
Workers attempted to create large unions, but rarely
succeeded.
Many times confrontations between owners and
government ended in violence.
The Great Railroad strike of 1877 occurred after a
severe recession in 1873 forced many companies to
cut wages.
The result was the first nationwide labor protest in
Martinsburg, West Virginia, as workers walked off
their jobs and blocked tracks.
9. The Great Railroad Strike, 1877
The strike spread until
80,000 railroad workers
in 11 states stopped
working.
Violence erupted.
President Hayes ordered
the army to stop the
strike.
In the end, 100 people
died and millions of
dollars in property were
lost.
The failure of the great
railroad strike led to a
need for better
organized laborers.
10. Struggle Continues
By the late 1870s, the first
nationwide industrial union
called the Knights of Labor
was formed.
They demanded an eight-hour
workday, a government
bureau of labor statistics,
equal pay for women, an end
to child labor, and worker-
owned factories.
They supported arbitration, a
process where an impartial
third party helps mediate
between workers and
management.
Uriah Stephens founded the Knights of Labor, the first national industrial
union in the United States, in Philadelphia in December 1869.
11. The Haymarket Riot
A nationwide strike was called to
show support of an eight-hour
workday.
A clash in Chicago left one
striker dead.
The next evening, a meeting at
Haymarket Square was
scheduled to protest the killing.
Someone threw a bomb.
In the end, seven police and four
more workers were killed.
Although no one ever knew who
threw the bomb, one man
arrested was a member of the
Knights of Labor.
This hurt the reputation of the
organization, and people began
dropping out.
12. Pullman Strike
In 1893 railroad workers created
the American Railway Union
(ARU).
They unionized the Pullman
Palace Car Company in Illinois.
After a recession caused the
company to cut wages, a boycott of
Pullman cars occurred across the
United States.
It tied up the railroads and
threatened the economy.
To end the boycott, U.S. mail cars
were attached to Pullman cars.
Refusing to handle a Pullman car
would result in tampering with the
mail, a violation of federal law.
After a federal court ordered the
boycott stopped, the strike and the
ARU both ended.

13. The American Federation of Labor
In 1886 delegates from over
20 of the nation’s trade
unions organized the
American Federation of
Labor (AFL).
The AFL’s first leader was
Samuel Gompers, whose
plain and simple approach to
labor relations helped unions
become accepted.
Gompers wanted to keep
unions out of politics and to
fight for small gains such as
higher wages and better
working conditions.
14. Growth of Labor
Under Gompers’s leadership,
the AFL had three goals: to
get companies to recognize
unions and agree to
collective bargaining; to push
for closed shops, where
companies could only hire
union members; and to
promote an eight-hour
workday.
By 1900 the AFL had over
500,000 members.
The majority of workers,
however, were still
unorganized. Labor Day parade 1887, Union
Square, NY
15. Working Women
By 1900 women made up more than
18 percent of the labor force.
Women worked as domestic
servants, teachers, nurses, sales
clerks, and secretaries.
Women were paid less than men.
It was felt that men needed a higher
wage because they needed to
support a family.
Most unions excluded women.
A separate union for women was
created by Mary Kenney O’Sullivan
and Leonora O’Reilly.
The Women’s Trade Union League
(WTUL) was the first national
association dedicated to promoting
women’s labor issues.
