Across the globe, union movements at both a national and international level are forced to confront the power and political dominance of global corporations.  In the name of market efficiency and global competitiveness, these corporations undermine the power of unions through constant relocations to cheap labor countries that deny union rights.  They impose work restructuring that intensifies (speed up/longer working hours) and casualizes work.  These same corporations are driving the privatization process, destroying any concept of the public interest.  These ‘restructures’ are not negotiated, they are imposed.

SIGTUR acknowledges the generosity of several Australian Unions (affiliates of the Australian Council of Trade Unions) whose comradely donations have made the development of this SIGTUR site possible.

The Australian Union Movement has a proud record of support for International working class struggle. This support goes back over 100 years. The sponsor unions are all progressive democratic organisations committed to improving the lot of their members and workers world wide.
