| | | Evans, Peter | | | Is it Labor?s Turn to Globalize? Twenty-first Century Opportunities and Strategic Responses | | | Regina, Saskatchewan S4N 3B9 Canada | | 2010 | | | Global Labour Journal: Vol. 1: Iss. 3, | | p. 352-379 | | | Neoliberal globalization is commonly seen as the nemesis of labor. A counter-thesis is
offered here. Neoliberal capitalism threatens labor at every level, from the local to the
national to the global, but rather than assuming that the global level is labor?s Achilles heel, it
makes sense to explore how mobilization at the global level can contribute to contestation at
the local and national level. Like any reorganization of production, global neoliberal
capitalism creates opportunities for counter-organization. Capital is thoroughly globalized.
Could it now be labor?s turn? Labor?s response to these opportunities has involved an
interconnected diversity of mutually reinforcing organizational forms and strategies. They
range from restructured global confederations to new networks of transnational labor NGOs
to new orientations toward the global arena on the part of national unions. Synergies among
old and new organizational forms have the potential to make the twenty-firstcentury ?labor?s
turn to globalize.?
