As a result of this, management and Union will then bargains collectively over matters pertaining to wages, hour of work and other conditions of employment and agreement is reached. Also" almost every worker owes and allegiance to a particular Trade Union and such worker will maintain an in-Group membership by confronting to the internal decision reached by the Union.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

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".

Fadeyi (1999) defines Trade Union as continuous association of wage earners for the purpose of maintaining and improving the conditions of their working lives. This definition points out the caliber of people forming Trade Union and the purpose for which Trade Union is established. However, Yesufu (1984) defines Trade Union as association of Employees for the. Promotion and deference of the terms and conditions of Employment of their members including their standard of living. Nigerian Trade Ordinance (1938) reports that A Trade Union is any combination of workers and Employers whether temporary or permanent, the principal purpose of which is the regulation of relationship between workmen and workmen, or between master and masters, whether such combination would or could not. This second definition embraces Employees association as well as organizations of workers. As a result of the foregoing, the study evaluates the impact Trade Union and Industrial Relations Practice on organizational Peace. This become necessary because Trade Union represent an avenue through which issues relations to workers are discussed. Also, almost every worker owes an allegiance to a 'particular Trade Union and such worker will maintainan in-group membership by confronting to the internal decision reached by the Union. Bankole (2000) says that the upsurge of Trade Unions in the 1940s with the attendant Industrial Conflicts prompted Management of most Organization to according more time and attention to Labour problems, grievances and disputes for the general interest of Organization. For instance, the Nationwide General Strike of 1945 led by a Pa Micheal Imodu was a watershed in the annals of Labour management relations in Nigeria. The need, was felt after the strike to appoint on full time basis persons whose responsibility would be to receive and attend to labour matters by in sing with Trade Union Official and negotiate labour issues before the degenerating into National Crises (Bankole, 2000). From this Example it is clear that Trade Union is a machinery that ensures that the working conditions and socio-­economic climate of work environment are in good condition. This research study aim to explore the impact of Trade Union In Union Bank of Nigeria, Ojo Branch, Lagos State. Nigeria Union of Bankers as a Labour Union is essential to the Establishment and maintenance of good labour relations. Whether it be a question of defending the interest of the members of the financial institution or determining condition of employment or of settling litigation, which may arise In respect of institutional growth (Matanmi 1998). The studying of Trade Union activities and the implication on Organizational growth. It can be noted that the use of strike as an instrument of collective bargaining has been predominant in contemporary Industrial situation in Nigeria. In the light of this, this study intends to explore the imperativeness of unionism engendering industrial peace in union bank of Nigeria.

1.2    STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

The frequent occurrence of strike action, which is usually organized by Trade Union has caused a lot of problem relation to Organizational growth. Even in the Banking Sector, some workers are usually less productive during the period of Industrial actions called upon by the labour Union. On the part of worker or employee, it has resulted in unequal hardship and principally brain drain (Obisi 1999). Trade Union rely on industrial conflict as a means of machinery of achieving the desired goals but industrial conflicts does not give room for industrial harmony, and this has an adverse impact on Organizational growth and development (Fapohunda, 1980)

In the views expressed by Fadeyi (1999) Trade Union plays an active role in improving workers performance by setting target which could be achieved by the workers provided they are well motivated by their Employers. The effective functioning of Trade Union is also facing some problems like poor leadership, rivalry, ethnicity, poor financing and power tussle (Adeogun 1980 & Fadeyi 1999). Other forms of problems that exist between Trade Union and Management in an Organization are lobby, demonstration, lock-out, slowdown of production and so on. All these industrial disputes lead to in- effective and lack of growth in the organization, which could be avoided if strike is totally averted. Thus, this study shall make attempts to find solutions to some of the problems stated in this study.
