The Impact of Globalization on Workers and Trade Unions: Challenges and Opportunities

This paper examines the complexities of globalization's effects on workers and trade unions (TUs). It highlights the disadvantages such as job insecurity, the privatization of companies, and the weakening of unions due to HR policies. The influx of rural-to-urban migration decreases union membership, particularly impacting the informal sector. Conversely, it addresses trade unions' vital role in protecting worker rights, promoting fair wages, and improving working conditions. The paper also suggests strategies for enhancing union effectiveness, including skill upgrades and international labor standards training.
