Globalization and Cross-Border Labor Solidarity in the Americas (eBook, ePUB)

The Anti-Sweatshop Movement and the Struggle for Social Justice

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Challenging sweatshop labor practices is extremely difficult, but garment workers, labor unions, and non-government organizations from Central America and the United States have successfully mobilized for better wages and working conditions over the past ten years. Those gains have not been broadened or sustained over time, however. This book examines why these various outcomes occurred through a comprehensive analysis of four "cross-border labor solidarity" campaigns. It concludes with some short, medium, and long-term strategies for addressing and potentially overcoming some of the obstacles that the contemporary anti-sweatshop movement currently faces.
