Abstract This article explores the pressing need for unions or collective groups among industrial workers, as highlighted through an interview. Despite evolving approaches to worker participation in management decisions, the Paper underscores the enduring relevance of unions in advocating for workers' rights and welfare in the manufacturing sector. The discussion delves into challenges such as concealed working conditions, contractor influence, regulatory obstacles, safety concerns, delayed wages, and the rise of contractual labor. The scope of union formation encompasses various sectors, emphasizing the importance of bridging the gap between organized and unorganized labor. Recommendations include prioritizing workers' welfare, enforcing labor laws, and ensuring union independence from political influence. Ultimately, unions are depicted as essential mechanisms for fostering unity, advocating for workers' rights, and creating equitable working environments that benefit both workers and management.
Keywords Industrial workers, unions, collective action, manufacturing sector, contractor influence, regulatory inspections, safety concerns, delayed wages, contractual labor, political dynamics, organized and unorganized sectors, government regulations, worker welfare, compliance, labor laws, unity.
