Until recently unions in Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand were uniformly hostile towards foreign workers, but Ford deftly shows how times and attitudes have begun to change. Now, she argues, NGOs and the Global Union Federations are encouraging local unions to represent and advocate for these peripheral workers, and in some cases succeeding. From Migrant to Worker builds our understanding of the role the international labor movement and local unions have had in developing a movement for migrant workers' labor rights. Ford examines the relationship between different kinds of labor movement actors and the constraints imposed on those actors by resource flows, contingency, and local context. Her conclusions show that in countries-Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Thailand-where resource flows and local factors give the Global Union Federations more influence local unions have become much more engaged with migrant workers. But in countries-Japan and Taiwan, for example-where they have little effect there has been little progress. While much has changed, Ford forces us to see that labor migration in Asia is still fraught with complications and hardships, and that local unions are not always able or willing to act. 606 $aLabor unions$xOrganizing$zAsia 606 $aForeign workers, Asian$xLabor unions$xOrganizing 606 $aLabor movement$zAsia 606 $aInternational labor activities$zAsia 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLabor unions$xOrganizing 615 0$aForeign workers, Asian$xLabor unions$xOrganizing. 615 0$aLabor movement 615 0$aInternational labor activities 676 $a331.5/4095 700 $aFord$b Michele$0763338 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467432503321 996 $aFrom migrant to worker$92442020 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01673oam 2200457 450 001 9910711848303321 005 20200204123143.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002487599 035 $a(OCoLC)1084731983 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002487599 100 $a20190207d2017 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aDisclosure of beneficial ownership in selected countries /$fby the staff of the Global Legal Research Directorate 210 1$a[Washingon, DC] :$cThe Law Library of Congress, Global Legal Research Center,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (35 pages) 300 $a"July 2017." 606 $aBeneficial ownership$xLaw and legislation 606 $aStock ownership$xLaw and legislation 606 $aDisclosure of information$xLaw and legislation 606 $aDisclosure of information$xLaw and legislation$2fast 606 $aStock ownership$xLaw and legislation$2fast 608 $aOnline resources. 615 0$aBeneficial ownership$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aStock ownership$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aDisclosure of information$xLaw and legislation. 615 7$aDisclosure of information$xLaw and legislation. 615 7$aStock ownership$xLaw and legislation. 712 02$aLaw Library of Congress (U.S.).$bGlobal Legal Research Directorate, 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 801 2$bMERUC 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910711848303321 996 $aDisclosure of beneficial ownership in selected countries$93334479 997 $aUNINA
