Abstract
With the advent of globalization as
the product market in India has
been dwelled by foreign MNCs, so
has the labor movement with the
global union federations (GUFs),
if not equally. Today, these federations
are forming an integral part
of the labor movement in India, especially
in industry sectors which
have witnessed the rising presence
of foreign MNCs after the ‘90s liberalization.
However, less is known
about what these GUFs have been
doing in India and how they have
shaped the changing labor movement
in the country. In this paper,
we tried to build the narrative of
GUFs’ activities and campaigns in
India, their nuances and particularly
how they organize and campaign differently in a country
where the labor movement has a
long history of a certain form of
organizing and campaigning.
