This paper discusses transnational labour solidarity, and how North American unions in the auto, steel, trucking, clothing and telecomm industries are increasingly embracing this vision for global labour.
Who Gains from Worker Participation?
There is a growing interest in participative management as a way to overcome rigidities in labour-management relations.

In other words, participative management entails a restructuring of the power relation between labour and management. This paper addresses this issue.
