Abstract
The most unwanted consequences
of global manufacturing is the
sweatshop condition at the workplace.
It is argued that tripartite
employment relations do not
work effectively due to unequal
power relations among the actors
and states inability to regulate
labor across the globe. Based on
empirical evidence from
Bangladesh Readymade Garments
industry, the paper argues
that fair participation of workers
in collective bargaining will
not be effective until global actors
have extended their support
to increase labor power, and put
pressure on the state and corporations
to respect labor rights.
