 Current Problems in International LabourGary K. Busch
Chapter 10 in The Political Role of International Trades Unions, 1983, pp 227-263 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Perhaps the most significant development in the world of international labour in the past eight years has been the growth of dissident unionism and political dissent among the organised workers in Eastern Europe. This growth of dissident unionism in Eastern Europe has seen the emergence of dissident unions within and without national communist parties whose strengths pose the most serious challenge to continued communist domination of the nations of the Soviet bloc. There have been numerous political issues around which this new unionism has formed, but fundamental to this process has been a serious economic fact which has been an almost universal determinant of trades union behaviour world-wide. This economic fact which the trades unions of the world have had to face is the effective removal from the world economy of over fifty-six billion dollars of hard currency by the oil-producing nations. Concomitant to this has been the unprecedented rise in world energy costs.
