Trade Union Strategies Towards Globalization

"Globalization has proved a complex and multi-faceted process for workers, as are the strategies they must develop to face its challenges. The case studies in this volume demonstrate successful strategies undertaken by trade unions in Brazil, Bulgaria, the Caribbean, Colombia, India, Poland, the United Kingdom and Turkey as well as Southern and Eastern Africa. In the process, the contributors highlight issues crucial to trade unions in this period of fast-paced change, such as the struggle for transparent governance for a fair globalization, the implementation of labour standards, employment creation, social protection, poverty alleviation including meeting the UN's Millennium Development Goals and gender equality and more." "Above all, this book shows how trade unions are key players in influencing the rules to achieve a fair globalization, while also playing a paramount role in implementing and enforcing these rules."--Jacket.
