Abstract:
|
Economic globalization has generally weakened national labour movements, and in some ways increased cross-national conflicts, but has also created incentives for international cooperation. Worldwide changes in workplace demographics, the increased profile of human rights on the international stage, and the incentives for unions to cooperate with other social movement activists, have also augmented the profile of diversity issues within transnational labour networks. This paper uses results from a survey of international labour organizations to monitor the extent to which sexual diversity is included within their human rights agendas. It finds only limited progress, and largely within international federations for public sector and educational workers. However, it also finds a dramatic increase in the transnational contacts of national and local activists focussing on GLBT issues, and foresees an intensification of pressure on international organizations. |
