The concept of the class consciousness is the most debatable concept that one come across in the sociological studies. Karl Marx used the concept to understand the dynamics of the class struggle between bourgeoisie and the proletariat. According to Karl Marx, a heterogeneous mass of workers comes together and forms a 'class' consciously. Thus the political organization like as trade unions had a definite role in organizing the working class. The trade union (or labor union) is an organization of workers or employees who have combined together to achieve common goals in areas such as in working conditions and protecting and promoting their mutual interests through collective action. This paper attempts to understand the relation between the emergence of trade union and the formation of class consciousness.
