Global: Toward a global labour charter for the 21th Century

The Labour Chapter in the Bamako Appeal may represent the most radical public statement on the contemporary global labour question to be found so far. Considering the present nature of work and workers worldwide, it recognises the limitations of the trade unions, traditionally considered to be either the sole or the central form of worker self organisation. But it nonetheless suggests a significant role for labour within the new global justice and solidarity movement, thus re articulating labour with the general social movement of our epoch.
