Abstract
- This article discusses the international campaign for the World Trade Organization to include a labor rights clause. The author argues that the campaign has successfully highlighted the need for core labor standards, but needs to broaden its base to include development-related demands, increase union involvement from developing countries, and increase membership mobilization to complement lobbying and political activity.
