Fighting for Alternatives: Cases os Successful Trade Union Resistance to the Policies of the IMF and World Bank

This report was produced by ICFTU (Peter Bakvis, Molly McCoy, and Tim Shorrock) in cooperation with the Global Union Research Network in April 2006. The report illustrates how local unions and national trade union centres have waged successful campaigns in their own countries against the IFIs. The international trade union movement, too, has achieved important victories in pushing the IFIs to adopt policies that are more favourable to working people and the poor. The final two chapters of this report discuss these successes, examining how the global trade union movement brought the issue of core labour standards to the IFIs, as well as the labour movement�s role in the international campaign for debt relief.
