Global Unions Unite to Help Workers at Multinationals
The global union movement came together in Washington, D.C., last week to kick off a joint initiative to help workers at multinational companies join unions.
Members of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the Council of Global Unions met with U.S. union leaders to discuss support for international organizing campaigns. Much of their help is directed at the United States, where workers’ rights now lag far behind other industrialized nations. They also met with senior officials of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
