Our task is not to make societies safe for globalization, but to make the global system safe for decent societies.

In its current form, globalization cannot be sustained. Democratic societies will not support it. Authoritarian leaders will fear to impose it.

Henry Ford hade rätt. En blomstrande ekonomi kräver att arbetare kan köpa de produkter som de producerar. Detta är lika sant i en global ekonomi som i en nationell. (Henry Ford hade rätt. En blomstrande ekonomi kräver att arbetarna har råd att köpa det de producerar. Detta gäller både på global som nationell nivå)

Henry Ford was right. A prosperous economy requires that workers be able to buy the products that they produce. This is as true in a global economy as a national one.

From the suites of Davos to the streets of Seattle, there is a growing consensus that globalization must now be reshaped to reflect values broader than simply the freedom of capital.

A core part of the global market is what might be called the 'Nike Economy' - footloose companies that play countries against one another while seeking subcontractors with the lowest wages and cheapest conditions.

In the 'Nike Economy,' there are no standards, no borders and no rules. Clearly, the global economy isn't working for workers in China and Indonesia and Burma any more than it is for workers here in the United States.

For globalization to work for America, it must work for working people. We should measure the success of our economy by the breadth of our middle class, and the scope of opportunity offered to the poorest child to climb into that middle class.

We can no longer allow multinationals to parade as agents of progress and democracy in the newspapers, even as they subvert it at the workplace.

From the suites of Davos to the streets of Seattle, there is a growing consensus that globalization must now be reshaped to reflect values broader than simply the freedom of capital.

Globalisering

After World War II, American leaders were, in Dean Acheson's words, 'present at the creation' of a global order. Now at the end of the cold war, we desperately need that same vision, that leadership, that creativity to be applied to the governance of the global marketplace.

A record 53 percent of nonunion workers say they'd join a union tomorrow if given the chance - that's the highest percentage in 20 years. It is our job to reach out to them.

American workers, ... fervently support rights to protect economic security, equal opportunity and reasonable working conditions but they see real gaps.

It's not these locals' fault that their national unions left the A.F.L.-C.I.O., and it's not working people's fault. They shouldn't have to bear the brunt of a decision by their leadership. Solidarity charters will allow unions to work together and let working people still benefit from a united grass-roots movement.
