    Trade unions are organizations formed by workers to protect their interests and improve working conditions. They leverage the strength of numbers to negotiate better deals with owners. The first phase from 1850-1900 saw the inception of trade unions guided by social workers. Many strikes occurred over wages and hours, raising awareness of union power. The second phase from 1900-1947 organized larger trade unions, with over 125 by 1920. After independence, the government worked with unions for economic development. Types of unions include craft, general, closed shop, check-off, blue collar, and white collar unions. The Trade Union Amendment Act of 2001 specifies minimum membership levels for registration and continuation as a union.
