Answer:
.The workers’ movement in India emerged in the background of industrialisation.
i. The latter half of the 19th century saw the rise of textile industry and railway
companies in India. The workers demanded solutions to issues faced like unstable
employment conditions, contract labour, financial insecurity, absence of legal
protection, unlimited working hours, insecurity at the workplace, health hazards,
etc.
ii. The railway workers went on strike in 1899 for the fulfilment of their demands.
iii. Later, in 1920 the first organisation, named All India Trade Union Congress was
established for resolving the issues of workers. The workers’ movement became
more active and organised several agitations in the post-independence period
around 1960s and 1970s.
iv. However, from 1980s, these movements started getting disintegrated. They were
mainly affected by globalisation.
