Determinantes industriais da solidariedade transnacional: Política intersindical global em três setores

Abstract

This article compares forms of labour transnationalism in three industrial sectors: motor manufacturing, maritime shipping, and clothing and textile manufac turing. In each case, unions engage in very different transnational activities to reassert control over labour markets and competition. As institutions of transnational cooperation deepen, unions continue to struggle with competitive tensions (worker to worker and union to union) which vary from one industry to another.
