As far as breaking of any trade union is concerned, neither the Trade Unions Act nor any other law of our country i.e. India permits breaking of a union. It is true that many employers do not permit their workers to join a union or to organize their own union because they feel once they join a union, they work less and keep on demanding more and facilities and such employers do indulge in breaking the union by terminating active members of the union or suspending them or by harassing them or transferring them to other place.
