Abstract
The practice of Trade Unionism is in the field of Labour Relations. It involves the
trade union, the employer and the state. The NUTGTWN is one of the registered
twenty-nine industrial unions, which came into existence after the amalgamation
of scores of house unions in 1978. The study is concerned with the performance of
the union in improving the economic condition of its members by means of fringe
benefits such as the annual bonus. It therefore focuses on unearthing the expected
and actual economic working conditions of the members of the union, the
performance of the union in the aspect of end of the year bonus, and other benefits
and ways that may bring improvement in the economic welfare of the members of
the union.
Adopting the survey method of research, a sample is analysed from the study
organization using the cluster and random sampling techniques by means of
questionnaires. The primary data is supplemented by secondary data obtained
from the union’s headquarters.
By means of simple descriptive analysis of frequency distribution supplemented
by percentages, appropriate conclusions were arrived at. The findings show that
the present state of the members of the union is such that a lot are not able to
provide for their own basic needs against being where most will properly provide
for their family needs. The annual bonus has so far helped in improving the
situation. Also efforts of the union should be directed towards winning more direct
monetary issues.
