摘要：Trade unionism is a by-product of industrialization in both developed and developing countries. Over a period, trade unions have grown to the stage of being considered as formal organisations wielding considerable influence on the socio-economic and political life of the nation. Trade unions were born at a time when the Industrial Revolution started in England. At present, the trade unions play a vital role in developing countries. In India also trade unionism has reached a vital position. “Trade Unions in India are the products of modern industrialism based on capitalist relations of production”. The trade union movement in Kanyakumari is not of recent origin. The District was carved out from erstwhile Travancore – Cochin and given to Tamilnadu in the year 1956 based on the policy of formation of linguistic states. Before 1956 Kanyakumari was part of Travancore region. Trade union movement started well before the formation of the state and even before securing independence to India. The history of trade union movement started in the year 1942 in Kanyakumari district. In Travancore also the origin and development of trade union movement start among the working class people. The movement began with the coir factory workers in Alapuzha on 31st March 1922. It was the first trade union in Travancore. After 1946 labour union movement had strongly rooted in Kanyakumari district. The estate labour union was the first and foremost union in the erstwhile South Travancore, present Kanyakumari district.
