Dr.S. Thangaraju


Abstract:

Global networks of informal workers organizations (associations, cooperatives, or unions) that bargain or advocate for their members for recognition and to improve access to markets and space, to improve their earnings, and gain coverage from social pro?tection benefits. Some groups of informal workers (Rag pickers, street vendors, domestic workers) have found that global and transnational networking and, importantly, advocacy at the international level, such as the International Labour Organization (ILO), have been necessary to strengthen their leverage in national and local settings. The most visible example was the achievement of the Interna?tional Domestic Workers Convention at the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2011 and a decade earlier the International Convention on Home Work. But how do networks organize themselves and does it matter? Some fo the categories of workers who deprived this Net Work. They are Rickshaw Pullas, Construction labors, Fisherman, Plantation labors(Tea), Private Transport workers. What are the implications of these differentiates for strategy and future impact? The paper reviews several key differences in some of the largest global networks of informal workers. We find that these net?works vary in their historical roots and political traditions, and these have implications for how they struc?ture themselves. Whether this implications and interventions have served through another Labour Commission or Forum is formulated or launched by Ministry of Labour and Employment.
