UNI Commerce discussed multinationals:
It is all about organising and collective bargaining, Sydney Summit said

UNI Commerce will now step up its organising and trade union recognition work in the leading global retailers and wholesalers. World-wide cooperation and campaigning will ensure a trade union presence, which allows workers to seek decent wages, job security and good conditions.

The Third Commercial Workers' Summit, held last week in Sydney, Australia, was a strong manifestation of trade union solidarity. One hundred commerce union leaders from all continents declared their intention to work together in order to build up a forceful trade union presence in their industry. The key priority will be to unionise the workers of world's leading retailers and wholesalers, which are expanding fast on a global scale.
