Abstract: The paper is concerned with the problems and prospects of organizing agricultural workers. The motivation to unionize is analysed in terms of low income, insecurity of employment and social disparity faced by landless labourers. Research evidence is summarised with a view to highlight the constraints in organizing the landless. Consequently, attention is drawn to some organizational problems such as objectives, structure and policies of a rural union. It has been emphasized in the paper that serious efforts should be made by the central trade unions to organize the agricultural workers.
