Abstract: Abstract Economic globalization has brought intensified challenges, increased competition and rapid changes in the way companies, and in particular large multinational corporations (MNCs), do business. Correspondingly, this has a tremendous impact on the global labour market and on how workers work. At the same time, this is matched with a brewing global consciousness of the need to address the mounting pressures and the effects of a global economy. On the one hand, market deregulation and capital mobility have weakened the bargaining power of workers, and on the other hand the rise of international civil society movements has created new social forces assisting general labour movements.1 One such result of this new social movement unionism is the campaign on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). This movement calls for a social scrutiny of corporate powers to fill the governance gaps left by governmental retreat from international issues of corporate responsibility in defence of weaker members in the international economy, such as women, children and workers in developing countries.2 Integral to the ongoing civil society movements to protect workers’ rights is the increasing participation of developing countries.
