TOWARDS A PEOPLES’ MOVEMENT FOR A UNIVERSAL SOCIAL SECURITY IN INDIA

2009-12-01

J. John

A recent document of the International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that at the beginning of the twenty-first century, access to any form of social protection remains a dream for 80% of the world’s population.1 Social security in India exists only for 7% of the workers - those who are employed in the so- called formal sector.

The Rise and Demise of an Independent Trade Union in China - The Ole Wolff Trade Union Case

2009-09-01

Issue No. 72 July - September 2009

By Zhang Wei and Apo Leong

In an open letter dated 14 October 2009, the Ole Wolff (Yantai) Trade Union (OWYTU) proclaimed the sad news that the union would be officially dissolved.

Union advisor Zhang Jun said the forthcoming union’s dissolution is mainly due to the fact that the Ole Wolff (Yantai) Electronics Company was de-registered in 2009 with the local government, and thus the Union Committee had to follow suit. Also, most of the union members have left the plant.
