(1) Generally, trade unions are affiliated to political parties. Through political leanings, workers are misguided to achieve the political motives and objectives through strikes gheraos and other devices and thus they lose their own interests. They gain a little out of such tactics.
(2) In some countries, trade unions are regarded as strike committees only because trade unions are always busy in organising strikes. Due to this, they have lost public sympathy and it encourages efficiency forcing the employer to employ more workers and thus increasing the cost of output and reducing the productivity and productibility.
(3) Through force, trade unions coerce the workers to support the unions view by joining strikes etc. which affect production on the one hand and loyalty of honest workers to the group on the other hand.
(4) A powerful union of workers in a particular industry can secure higher wages though ii may be quite unreasonable. It induces the workers in other industries to put an unreasonable demand for higher wages.
(5) Trade unions ignore the social interests. They never advocate for the increase in production and productivity and thus take one-sided view.
