Global Framework Agreements In A Union-hostile Environment: The Case Of The USA.

Friedrich Ebert Stiftung

North America

Global Union Federations have made significant progress in advancing Global Framework Agreements that create arenas for labor relations based on the Core Labor Standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO). These Agreements – signed and implemented by labor and management – are a means of setting minimum standards and organizing unions in Transnational Corporations, to date largely European, and their worldwide production and supply networks. Global Framework Agreements around the world have not been a routine exercise. Implementation in the US has resulted only from union pressure, both locally and through transnational collaboration involving unions from other countries and Global Union Federations.
