AI and IV
BI, II and III ✓ Correct
CI, II, III and IV
DII and III
Correct answer: (B) I, II and III — The keyed weaknesses are low membership, weak finances and multiplicity of unions, that is statements I, II and III.
Explanation
★The keyed weaknesses are low membership, weak finances and multiplicity of unions, that is statements I, II and III.
★Most Indian workers are in the unorganised sector, so trade union membership covers only a small share of the workforce.
★Unions rely on small subscriptions and donations, which leaves them financially weak and dependent.
★A multiplicity of rival unions, often tied to different political parties, divides workers and weakens bargaining power.
★Outside political leadership and inter-union rivalry further reduce the unity of the labour movement.
★Note the union weaknesses together: low membership, weak finances and a multiplicity of politically aligned unions.
