The Trade Unions (Amendment) Bill, 2019 was introduced in Lok Sabha on January 9. The Bill amends the Trade Unions Act, 1926, which provides for the registration and regulation of trade unions.
The Bill seeks to provide for recognition of trade unions or a federation of trade unions at the central and state level by the central and state government, respectively.
Such trade unions or the federation of trade unions will be recognised as Central Trade Unions or State Trade Unions, as the case may be.
