- Abstract
In the last few years, union officials dealing with the Canadian multinational firm Quebecor World have sought to coordinate internationally the different unions in this firm. Under the leadership of the Union Network International (UNI), a new form of international alliance, named "UNI Network@Quebecor World", was established and a worldwide campaign for union rights initiated. This ambitious campaign involved the coordination of various solidarity, actions taken by unions in more than a dozen different countries. This article will document their experiences, highlighting the different poles of strategic action within this network and the way in which the campaign has succeeded in circumventing the many obstacles usually associated with interunion cooperation. The article concludes with an analysis of the evolving relationship between trade unions in industrialized and developing countries as they seek to establish networks of cooperation within a multinational company.
