A registered trade union is one which is registered under the Trade 
Union Act and enjoys certain rights, privileges and also has duties.  It 
has duties to its members as well as the management.  Management, at 
least enlightened management, will see HR activities like recruitment, 
selection, training, compensation, industrial relations and separations 
are carried out in consultation with trade union leaders.
