There is the problem of poor welfare packages and low rates given to employees by employers of labour. This created the need for trade unions. The research methodologies adopted induce the primary data e.g observation personal interviews and questionnaires, that is first hand information and the secondary data e.g textbooks, journals, magazines e.t.c the analysis of the data, tabulations, percentages, bar charts, pie charts were used. My finding is that most unions leaders were elected and selected based on their tribes. Secondly most of them are not well educated and does not have the bargaining strength to bargain effectively. Thirdly, most of them are just there for their selfish interest rather than for the interest of the union. Based on the findings, thereby recommend that union leaders should be properly educated, vibrant and should be men and women of unquestionable characters in order to achieve the objectives for which the union was forms.
