Cooperatives and Unions: Joint Action for Informal Workers

By on January 01, 2002

Abstract:
This article discusses the possibilities of building networks between trade unions and cooperatives operating in the informal economy. It draws on a variety of examples from across the globe on situations where joint trade union-cooperative arrangement exists. The article promotes the idea that trade unions should support informal workers‟ in establishing cooperatives, and that alliances should then be formed between these cooperatives and trade unions.
