A Trade Union is any organisation created by employees for the purpose of representing the rights and interests of those employees and includes all registered labour unions at the commencement of the Labour Unions Act, 2006.

It is the right of the employee to be allowed to join a labour union. However, the employee also has the right not to join a labour union if they so wish. There is no "closed shop".

All employees who are members of a particular union are required to provide a written instruction to their employers for a deduction to be made from their salary on a monthly basis or as may be agreed between the employee and the union. Some union can arrange for specific contribution to be be paid on behalf of the employee direct from their bank account if an employer cannot or will not deduct at source

The payment is meant to facilitate the work of the union to negotiate for better terms and conditions of service for all employees at any given work place where unions exist. It also facilitates legal advice and support should any member of members require this in context of an employment law issue
