New Trends in The Trade Union Movement
BMS has contributed quite a few new ideas which have virtually become trend setters.
The non-political nature of BMS has now gained currency and has become acceptable not only in India but also abroad. The XII World Trade Union Congress of WFTU, held in Moscow, in 1990, adopted a document to this effect.
BMS doesn't believe in class concept and rejects the class theory propounded by Marx. Instead its struggle and fight is against the injustice on workers from whatever quarters.
Being non-political, its attitude towards any democratically elected government is governed by the principle of “Responsive Co-operation”.
BMS idea of “Labourisation” of Industries – a stage where workers would collectively own and manage the industrial units has initiated a national debate on it. This experiment has been successfully undertaken in New Central Jute Mills, West Bengal.

Lest movement should provoke
The demon of pursuit
That slumbers in a brute.”
