BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

1.1     INTRODUCTION

In every organization where people of different background and interest have to interact in the collective efforts towards achieving a common goal, there must be a cordial relationship. As Bankole (2000) argues that Organization does not exist without people with various skills, experience, specialization, psychological. Disposition and the need to make out a living, but Organization exist with people, management and Labour. Therefore, Trade Unions are the principle institution of workers in modern capitalist societies.

In Nigeria, Trade Unionism has witnessed some historical phases. It can be traced to the colonial era prior to the development of Personnel Management. At any stage of Industrial development, workers performance cannot be overlooked because it is a major determinant for an Organizational growth. Therefore, an organization that focuses on issues affecting Economic growth must also have a corresponding implication on the level of workers Union in an Organization. In the words of Matanmi (1999:17) “whatever affects 53tuworkers could also make or mar an improved productivity in an Organization which is the condition for growth and developments”.
