It is seen that many issues relating to service matters are not put forward / resolved before the authorities alongwith the required "information". In most of the decisions taken by the executive, 'transparency' is the main casuality. The basis and also the level at which decisions affecting employees is taken is always shrouded in great mystery. This leads to distrust and discontentment among work force. If they can be taken into confidence and given proper basis / information which lead to a certain decision, they would really appreciate and accept the decisions whole heartedly.
The Right to Information Act, 2005, is a great tool to achieve transparency in administration and also to fix accountability among public authorities. In view of the above, it may be desirable that the trade unions should seek information under RTI on behalf of the members. Many issues required to be addressed in the larger interest of work force and if the individual members seek help under RTI, it is possible that they are victimized. Thus, in the collective interest of the organization, the Unions should take pro active steps and seek information objectively so that it can be effectively used in furtherance of the interest of members as well as organization as a whole.
