in Nouvelles pratiques sociales , Volume 20, numéro 2, printemps 2008 , 2008 , 52-65 | ||
Unions’ concerns in regards to the growing power of multinational companies urgently prompt them to instigate the construction of a new countervailing power meant to spread out its influence on a transnational basis. As a consequence, several unions have over the years been involved in developing international alliances. After mentioning the historical development of these alliances, we will put forward the many obstacles that happen to slow down their formation. We will then tackle the phenomenon of their upsurging in the actual context of globalization, highlighting their potential contribution to the emergence of a union renewal. | ||
