[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page discussion of the impacts of globalization on labor unions. Notes that as other countries advance technologically, there is a corresponding shift in union employment to further complicate the impacts to labor unions a variety of laws such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) supports multinational corporations with the elimination of excessive and taxes on exports. Consequently, U.S. unions are in danger of collapse as more and more businesses move to low income countries to take advantage of cheap labor. At the same time many of the workers in the third world countries to which big business is moving find themselves at the mercy of inadequate wages and working conditions. There are no unions to represent these people. Global unionization, the merger of unions across national borders, is the only solution to the impacts of globalization on the workplace.

The Importance Of First-Year Union Membership
[ send me this paper ]
19 pages in length. Union representation within the workforce is not as prominent as it once was; with a mere 13.5% of all 16.3 million American workers part of a union, the student might readily surmise that union affiliation – and the benefits that inherently accompany membership – is not being utilized to its fullest potential when it comes to the working population. Most prominent to whether or not union representation is beneficial for a particular trade or profession is the first-year membership; by immersing oneself into the multi-tiered union environment, workers are able to gain a significantly better understanding of just how instrumental union representation can be to future union involvement and membership satisfaction.

The Indian Government and Actions Against Child Labor
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the Indian Government’s actions against child labor and other issues in relation to international pressure and trade. Within the last decade, international pressure has been placed upon developing countries to eliminate child labor. Depending upon the source, it has been reported that there are between 11 and 60 million children being exploited as underpaid labor in India. India, in response to international demand, has begun the “world’s largest child labor elimination program” which includes national and international funding, organizational development and educational programs in order to eliminate child labor and rehabilitate those children taken out of exploitative situations. While the steps taken by the Indian Government are positive in regards to the elimination of child labor, controversy still exists in regards to India, as a developing country, remaining competitive within the international market place which is considerably easier when child labor wages are in place over adult wages.
