Abstract
Writing in 1972 on the emergence of the multinational corporation and its impact on unionism, Charles Levinson, then Secretary-General of the International Federation of Chemical and General Workers’ Unions, observed: ‘[P]erhaps the most critical challenge to the trade union movement in accommodating to the rapidly changing environment … is to break out of its social confinement and isolation in order to intervene directly in the primary area of economic decision-making. Nothing is going to stop [the] transfer of real power from the nation-state to the international corporation. The requirement is for international organizations with policies and power to confront and redirect these influences.’2
