Some of the smaller group
UTUC:
United tread union congress
Is said tobe one of the oldest and prominent among
the smaller group of union. Although it is commonly said that there are four
national federations, the UTUC does not fall under any of this category because
its following is confined to only west Bengal and Kerala. The popularity of the
UTUC in west Bengal has certain Historical reasons. The dominant component of
the UTUC consists of the follower of the Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP).
It also includes smaller group such as the Bolshevik Party of India and the
Revolutionary Communist Party of India. The main plank of the UTUC is the
militant tread union action, which is not tied to the programs and politics of
any political party. As noted Mrinal Kanti Bose is the General Secretary of the
group. They say that he was tread unionist at heart
and is not a formal member of any political party as a result UTUC is not a
political party rather it helps assorted
groups to stay together.
CITU:
Center
of Indian tread union
It
is affiliated to the Marxist communist party. Thanks to a dedicated core of
activist that CITU has been pursing militant union activity, and its following
has been steadily on the rise in several states.
A
recent tread in the tread union scene that political parties have begun the
formation of union centers and have no clear cut economic ideology which are
far from attractive to industrial workers. E.g. Bhartiy Mazdoor Sangh which is
affiliated to the Jane Sangh party but does not have any economic welfare
program or ideology for the workers but it’s main aim is to further their own
ideology. Much more prominent example could be of DMK in Tamilnadu, where it
has started tread union with party carders forming the core in the union. This
strategy has helped to further its own ideology apart from various youth groups
and party branches that it has in its
every village and town. Thus these union groups affiliated to political party
are a means and source to spread their party ideology and less of any concern
for the welfare of workers.
