Workers organising globally – The Global Picketline

Australia Asia Worker Links (AAWL) has facilitated links and organising among trade unions and labour groups in the Asia Pacific region for over 30 years. In this time, it has become clear that with the continuing globalisation of capitalism, workers also need to organise internationally. 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’. This concept is outlined in a short publication that details how best to organise international solidarity and global campaigns.
