INTRODUCTION
1.1 BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE SUBJECT OF STUDY
Section 2(h) of the Trade Unions Act, 1926 has defined a trade union as “Any combination, whether temporary or permanent, formed primarily for the purpose of regulating the relations between workmen and employers, or between workmen and workmen, or between employers and employers, or for imposing restrictive conditions on the conduct of any trade or business, and includes any federation of two or more trade unions (Carroll, 1969). This definition is very exhaustive as it includes associations of both the workers and employers and the federations of their associations.
Only trade unions can represent employees and bargain collectively. Individuals, clubs or corporations cannot bargain collectively. This often makes it important to determine if an organization has trade union status (Akpala, 1991).
Alberta (2002) defines trade union as the means an organization of employees that has a written constitution, rules or bylaws and has as one of its objects the regulation of relations between employers and employees.
