The Challenge of Multi-National Corporations and Regional Economic Integration to the Trade Unions, their Structure and their International Activities

Karl Casserini

Chapter Chapter 4 in Transnational Industrial Relations, 1972, pp 70-96 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The historical development of trade unions has shown them to be pragmatic organisations with a definite social objective to be pursued within economic realities. They grew as a self-defence of the worker in a society in the throes of industrialisation. Workers of the same handicraft assembled to fight flagrant social injustice and to struggle for economic security.
