What kind of globalization? Organizing for workers' human rights

Article Abstract:

US-ratified international human rights law, in requiring states to provide means of subsistence and work with dignity to all their people, provides a normative frame for organizing for a 'socially aware global economy'. A framework for transformative organizing to build a socially aware global economy by linking local organizing to transnational networks is proposed, while exploring the efficacy of three divergent but complementary strategic manifestations of the framework.
