5. Case Study on Trade Union Democracy:
   In one state, the Chief Minister was invited to the annual conference of a union where union elections were also scheduled. The Chief Minister inaugurated the conference and observed as follows: “I propose that you elect Mr. XYZ as your president and the president in turn elect his team”. Before the members could understand the significance of what the Chief Minister had said there was a big round of applause from the audience-presumably orchestrated by supporters of the Chief Minster's nominee for president-ship of the union. Before anyone could say anything, quite a few queued up and began to garland Mr. XYZ. Mr. XYZ then rose and announced the names of his nominees. The lections concluded. Those who were elected were happy about the smooth and cordial manner in which the elections had been held. Referring to two cases in recent past in neighbouring factories, they said, in one, the rival unions spent a lot of money in elections. From where the money had come? Would the ones who had spent so much money not want to recover it in one form or another? Another elected person was talking about how management manipulated the elections to have a 'company' union. Some of the people who had aspired to contest the elections were dismayed but could not do much because of the atmosphere in which the whole thing had happened.
