Workers organising globally - The Global Picketline concept

Companies, in their quest for ever greater profits, expand their operations internationally by integrating their production, distribution and commercial divisions at a global level. To be effective in confronting this new reality, workers also need to organise and take actions that are integrated and co-ordinated at an international level.

In conjunction with regional labour activists and organisations, AAWL has developed a global organising concept called ‘The Global Picketline’ [2]. This concept is outlined in a short publication [2] that details what type of international solidarity is strongest and the steps needed to organise global campaigns.
