LIUNA / Enrico Henry Mancinelli Professorship in Global Labour Issues
In July 2003 the LIUNA / Henry Enrico Mancinelli Professorship in Global Labour Issues was created at McMaster University to improve society's understanding of the relationship between globalization and labour. The professorship will deal with 3 sets of issues:
- Organizational challenges, such as how workers and farmers should organize themselves
- Cultural challenges, examining how people in different countries cooperate for a common cause
- Resource challenges, such as how trade unions and worker organizations mobilize human and financial resources.
