Abstract: | Based on qualitative case studies of MNCs with operations in Canada and Mexico, it is indicated that the nature and intensity of participation in cross-border trade union alliances are shaped by the union dynamic at the local, national and international levels. It is argued that a combination of greater workplace union power resources, notably discursive capacity, and of strong supportive approach of the national union, notably dedicated resources and space for bottom-up initiatives, contributes to proactive solidarity strategies towards international union networks. |
