	Labour Movement in India
		The official labour statistics despite their many limitations can be useful in assessing the status of the labour movement in the country.
		The year 1973-74 saw the heyday of the Indian labour movement; as many as 47% of all workers in the country were involved in strike action in 1974.
		But this movement seems to have affected a limited sector of the class as the percentage of all workers participating in the strikes is less than 10%.

		Labour unions and trade unions are common names for the specific collective organizations within societies, organized for the purpose of representing the interests of workers and the working class.

	Australian labour movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Others in the labour movement, demoralised with direct action, turned to a political solution and sought election to parliaments using manhood suffrage, thus resulting in the formation of the Australian Labor Party.
		The Australian labour movement united around opposition to conscription, largely due to vocal opposition by the IWW and Catholic archbishop of Melbourne, Daniel Mannix.
		In return the IWW ran a 'free speech movement' campaign in which over 80 members in Sydney were sentenced to 6 months hard labour (the maximum) for simply proclaiming their membership, which was enough to scare many others away from open defiance.

	Otto Rühle and the German Labour Movement
		Under the capitalistic division of labour the maintenance and extension of prevailing ideologies is the job of the intellectual layers of the bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie.
		The exiled labour leaders, in step with the labour organisations in their adopted countries, could still point to the political differences between the two forms of the capitalistic system although they were unable to deny the capitalistic nature of their new fatherlands.
		For him the labour movement was not dead but was still to be born in the social struggles of the future.

	John Minns and Robert Tierney \| The Labour Movement in Taiwan \| Labour History, 85 \| The History Cooperative
		This article disagrees and suggests that the reasons for the weakness of the Taiwanese labour movement are not to be found in cultural stereotypes of Confucian docility or group loyalty.
		In the late 1980s, labour intensive industries in Taiwan were battling to survive in an environment of an appreciating currency and of severe labour shortages in the semi-skilled and unskilled echelons of the labour market.
		The labour movement in Taiwan developed in the midst of a broad gathering of forces of opposition to the KMT in the 1970s and 1980s.

		John Kelly's avowed aim is to dismiss suggestions that the labour movement is in crisis or that the labour movement is being superseded by new social movements, the ‘newness' of which he calls into question; nor is he prepared to give any credibility to the post-modernist theory on which much of it is based.
		The power of labour rises as a result of upswings in the economic cycle and is reduced in the downswing when workers' organisation may be attacked during a period of counter-mobilisation by the employers and the state.
		Conventional labour movements – left, right and centre – typically prioritise ‘economic struggle' (against capital) or ‘political struggle' (against the state), or varying combinations of the one and the other…This made sense in the period of the capitalist nation-state or of ‘nation-state dependent' capitalism.

	Marxist Bulletin: Labour Movement on its Knees
		The Socialist Labour Party offered real hope of the growth of a genuine working class party when it was launched in 1996, and contained the potential to become the focus for a rebirth of class struggle politics.
		One might have expected that such a movement of mourning for an aristocrat closely linked to the Royal Family, that (albeit briefly) mobilised millions of people would be universally looked upon by the Royalist establishment as a sign of mass popular enthusiasm for the monarchy.
		Ironically, despite the reality of her privileged position, Diana was seen by many as a liberal dissident, and in some ways, as an anti-monarchy, anti-establishment figure by many of the most oppressed sections of this society, as reflected in the multi-racial, working class composition of the crowds.

	The Labour Movement and Anarchism \| libcom.org (Site not responding. Last check: )
		But the latter, a labour movement which is not only involved in propaganda and the gradual winning over of terrain to anarchism, but which is already avowedly anarchist, seems to me to be impossible and would in every way lack the purpose which we wish to give to the movement.
		The labour movement is not the artificial creation of ideologists designed to support and put into effect a given social and political programme, whether anarchist or not, and which can therefore, in the attitudes it strikes and the actions it takes, follow the line laid down by that programme.
		The labour movement springs from the desire and urgent need of the workers to improve their conditions of life or at least to prevent them getting worse.

	Vanguard - Labour : Union leaders set unity aganda for labour movement
		With the proliferation of casual workers and other forms of non-pensionable employment coupled with the alarming rate of job losses in the country, the ability of the union to perform its major role of protecting and fighting for workers rights is waning by the day.
		Labour must now also come together and see how it can maximize its strength and be a power pressure group because the way Nigeria is today, labour is the solely the united and unifying body the country has at the moment.
		Labour must now sees itself from that angle.

		In both the countries, the Labour Day is a statutory holiday, which is dedicated to paying yearly national tribute to the contributions of workers to the strength, prosperity and well being of these countries.
		Peter J. McGuire, one of the founders of the American Federation of Labour, has traditionally been known as the 'Father of Labour Day', as he was first in suggesting a day to honour those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold".
		Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labour convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labour Day was adopted as “Labour Sunday” and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labour movement.

		The role of the Labour Movement in 1916
		And it is in the myth of nationalism and the acceptance of received history that every single struggle of the labour movement in Irish history has been undermined, subsumed and to a great extent ignored.
		Meanwhile, the role of labour in the North is completely subsumed in the sectarian narrative which now is understood as encompassing the entire collective experience in the six counties.

	Challenging Child Labour
		The "situation analysis of child labour in Nepal", a study undertaken by CWCD for the National Planning Commission has indicated that there are 26.3% child labourers in rural are while there are 16.7% in urban areas and 50.2% children from bonded families are child labourers.
		Child labour cannot be viewed in isolation, because this is a cause and consequence of the country's socio-economic and political reality.
		However, the movement for the elimination of child labour has not yet been very effective due to the lack of adequate and active participation of the people of different walks of life.

	Origins of the Hunter Labour Movement. By Dr Bob James
		A Newcastle Labour League, with delegates Dixon and Hopkins, was admitted to this Council's deliberations in 1873.
		One, the Newcastle Labour and Political Labour League, appeared to have the better of debates, although the second, the Electoral Labour League of NSW, was the child of the Sydney Trades and Labour Council and some of its most vocal supporters, for example, Methodist preacher JL Fegan, who headed the Eight Hours Committee.
		Labour Historians have taken the view that 'self-help and consensus politics are hardly the ingredients of class consciousness', judging that a labour movement could not exist until a desire for self-help was replaced with agitation for State-welfare.

		Ted Grant was the founder and political leader of the “Militant Tendency”, which haunted the Labour leadership, and was eventually expelled along with the Militant editorial board in 1983.
		The purpose of this history of British trade unionism is not only to recite the wrongs inflicted on working people, or simply to describe their heroic struggles.
		It is an attempt to draw out the lessons of the events that helped shape the Labour movement, and made it what it is. This is a book that sets out from the proposition that the interests between capital and labour are incompatible and takes sides in the war between the classes.

	Otto Rühle and the German Labour Movement by Paul Mattick 1935
		The first world war and the positive reaction of the labour movement to the slaughter surprised only those who did not understand capitalist society and the successful labour movement within its confines.
		The various organisations in every nation proved that they had neither – the intention nor the means to fight capitalism, that they were interested only in securing their own existence within the capitalistic structure.
		Yet it would not do to show the illogical character of the Bolshevik arguments, for as illogical as the arguments were from a revolutionary point of view, they emanated logically from the peculiar role of the Bolsheviks within the Russian capitalistic emancipation and from the Bolshevik international policy which supported Russia’s national interests.

		This was seen then as a partial victory for developing countries and analysts claimed that they could now obtain access for their professionals and workers in return for reciprocal concessions in other services and goods.
		Their negotiating power during labour disputes and wage negotiations is relatively weak and more in the favour of the employer, since their employment is of a temporary nature.

		We strongly condemn the recent grave developments within the Iranian workers’ movement and express deep concern about their possible effects on the militancy of labour activists in the next period.
