Tiivistelmä:Nowadays, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), transnational companies (TNCs) and labour/trade unions are increasingly participating in regulating workers' rights. This article concentrates on the least researched of the relationships among these three actors (the union-NGO relationship) by analysing the ways in which it influences definitions of TNC responsibility for workers' rights at their suppliers' factories. It uses the Swedish clothing industry to study six main configurations of union-NGO relationships. The results indicate that co-operation is generally more benefitial for both unions and NGOs than in any form of conflictual relationship, in terms of broadening the definition of TNC responsibility.
