*National systems of employment law cannot deal with a capitalism that is
globally-integrated. Nor can locally-based worker organizations. The Supply
Chain model argues for a global industrial relations based on the
negotiation of global collective contracts within supply chains. Key to
this is the operating principle of ‘cascaded contractual obligation’. In
this, a corporation that is signatory to a global contract must include in
each of their supply contracts a clause by which the contractor itself
becomes a party to the contract. The author explains how this system might
be introduced, funded and enforced, before setting out five things that
will need to change, and five that will need to stay the same.
