• INTRODUCTION
  • BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

According to the trade union decree No 36 section (1) of 1973, trade is defined as any combination of which is to regulate the term and conditions of workers employment.

However, a trade union is permitted to have additional purpose instead than that of regulating the terms and conditions of workers employment. It also utilizes his reasonable resources in some other variable positions or situations as contained in the rule book of the union. A trade union movement  existed in Nigeria as early as 1912 with the civil service union as the first that came into existence union like the Nigeria Railways, Nature staff union 1919 and the Nigeria Union of teachers in 1913.

However, as the result of the passage of the trade union ordinance in 1983, other trade union emerged several of the union formed were motivated by their leaders since the leaders seems to be illiterate and ignorance at what actually a union suppose to be.

According to Yusuf (1952:72) the union reason for the formation of the civil service union was merely to match with union formed in Sierra lean and other countries in West Africa, in the supreme position, the main aim for the formation of the union were;

• To protect the welfare and interest of members
• To protect the employment position of the members
• To maintain dignity in labour and
• To maintain standard working hours with remunerations equal to the output.

Management policies however, are the instrument used by the management of any firm in ensuring that problems facing the organization are solved within an acceptable constraint good policies provide definite and as well allow the members of the organization charge with the responsibilities of operating the organization as a system.

Management policies at the other side of the coin are nothing unless it degenerated into actions or work. Management should thus ensure that the policies formulated are meticulously exercised to also take care of the employee. Implementation requires good and continuous communication up and down the management ladder as will as across. Therefore, for an organization to achieve its desired goal, it must formulate appeal from subordinates to avoid fiction and also identify or contain problems which were not put into cognizance in the previous set policies. That is why employees realized that the only way they can extract maximum benefits from their employer or even mount pressure on him for improvements in this regard is through collective rather than individual actions.
