Gautam Moody of India addresses the issue of North-South solidarity in the global union movement. The movement is dominated by powerful unions in rich countries, but most violations happen in poor countries.
"Can we be assured of the solidarity of unions in the global North?"

Should we not worry that profits are growing at more than the double the rate of revenue ergo something is declining quite steeply for the rate of profits to rise? A shrinking share of wages on lower revenues is at the root of the present crisis.

Past/Present/Future is bleak: No balwadis, no school meals, it's only poor quality ration rice, from FCI Godowns. Though, people have not complained, abided Govt dictates, they have suffered lockdowns. Govt must wake up to people's voices, We are back to 1960s scarcity!

Women have lost jobs due to Govt indifference. No access to public transport, impossible for them to reach work. Employers using Covid 19 as an excuse to restructure companies, while TN Labour Department is sitting at home.

Garment workers lay offs continue everyday, Slam Clothing, Linea Fashions, Pearl Global, Magnum Clothing. About 50 percent factory workers have no work, their other half employed on 40/60 % of earlier earnings.

Despite harassment & pressure to accept termination agreement, workers at garment factory ECC2, Bangalore, India, continue to protest against illegal layoffs of 1,200 workers. IndustriALL condemns closing unionized factories, retrenching union members using #Covid19 as an excuse.

Over 1,000 workers lost their jobs when a factory in Mandya, Karnataka shut down this month. Workers stitched clothes of H&M brand and factory was of Gokaldas Exports. H&M says its a dispute between workers and the factory but it has been 19 days, there's no sign of a resolution.
