Capital has developed a range of global strategies which has strengthened its
position towards workers, unions and nation states. However, in principle,
globalization also provides new opportunities for workers and unions to organize
and act transnationally and create a fairer world order (Hardt and
Negri, 2001). What is more, from its inception, the labour movement has
had a strong discourse of international solidarity and international cooperation.
Indeed, many attempts are made to do so and unions have established
a variety of transnational modes of cooperation.
