- Description
- This edited volume brings together six case studies about the need for better organizing work and trade so as to bargain for better wages and working conditions in a number of developing countries. Three link local producers with global markets : a cocoa cooperative of 54,000 producers in Ghana who are co-owners of a chocolate company in the UK: family-based cooperatives in Samoa which produce organic virgin coconut oil for export: and small enterprises in Mozambique which are helping to regenerate the cashew processing and export industry. three focus on improving the working conditions of the hundreds of thousands of wage workers in global value chains : those in the fruit exporting industry in South Africa: those in the garment export industry in Bangladesh: and those in the newly created call centres in India.
