| 520 | |a Many progressive unionists in the U.S. advocate for international solidarity and active support for strong labor movements in the developing world. Fortunately, a more unionized global future is not simply an abstraction but is already a reality in some developing countries. On the surface, the poor Indian state of Kerala ought to reveal shantytowns and other stark signs of poverty common among the poorest areas of the world. Yet, because of the state's strong labor movement, the population enjoys basic standard of living indicators far closer to the U.S. than to wealthier parts of India. This article examines this labor movement, its past successes, and the innovative strategies that the Keralan Left is using to address the powerful pressures caused by corporate globalization. The Kerala experience offers instructive lessons not simply for the developing world, but for Americans who wish to take participatory democracy seriously. | ||
