Students’ Reflections: Mock Trade Union Presentation in the Economics Class!!

Ghouse Trade Union was started as an initiative to help drivers all around Hyderabad overcome their everyday problems. Our inspiration, Mr. Mohammed Ghouse, a chauffeur, told us about the hardships he faces on a daily basis. It included issues such as low pay, working overtime, unhygienic working conditions, and very few holidays. Mr. Ghouse had personally conveyed this to us on a trip. We immediately suggested that he can form a group that uses collective bargaining to come to terms with their owners. Thus, Ghouse Trade Union was born. It helps drivers to live and work peacefully.

HAPA Trade Union stands for ‘H’arshini, ‘A’njali, ‘P’ragnya and ‘A’lekhya. The subscription fee was decided at Rs. 77. We had to do a lot of research and learnt a lot from this. We also found out how real trade unions work.
