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.

I pity all the young,
I know what devil’s trade they learn
From those they live among,
Their drink, their pitch and toss by day,
Their robbery by night....”

Some movement is reversed and the urgent masks
Speed toward a totally unexpected end
Like clocks out of control.”
