  ON WHAT COULD WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE
However, the unity of the world's workers is today more necessary than ever due to the effects of globalization on workers' representational rights, on the terms and conditions of work, and indeed on their whole lives.
Therefore, a main issue on which the workers of the world could unite is to oppose the nature, the direction and the speed of globalization as currently being implemented.
The main analytical and normative conclusion of the present section is that workers of the world could, and should, unite on seeking a new global economic order, which provides full employment and livelihoods with decent incomes and hence which helps improve labour standards for workers everywhere.

 Workers of the world, unite! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The political slogan "Workers of the world, unite!", one of the most famous rallying cries of socialism, comes from Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels's Communist Manifesto.
It is sometimes extended to "Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains" and sometimes "Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains, you have the world to win!", mixing the three last sentences of the Communist Manifesto.
It is widely known and oft-quoted, and also frequently adapted, for example in The Smiths' song "Shoplifters of the World Unite" or the bumper sticker "Dyslexics of the world, untie!"

 FrontPage magazine.com :: Workers Of The World Unite At Last? by Robert Locke
Take away the discipline of competition between nations, and the kind of world government we may expect is the kind of regulatory, socialized, and statist regime we have spent a century fighting against.
If world government comes into being any time soon, it will discover that most people in the world are poor, and destined to remain so for a long time at current rates of economic growth.
The prospect of a world government is bad enough, but the prospect of a world tyranny is so bad that it deserves attention by more than gun-loving backwoods militiamen.

 AllRefer.com - Industrial Workers of the World (Labor) - Encyclopedia
The aim of the IWW was to unite in one body all skilled and unskilled workers for the purpose of overthrowing capitalism and rebuilding society on a socialistic basis.
It was especially strong in the lumber camps of the Northwest, among dock workers in port cities, in the wheat fields of the central states, and in textile and mining areas.
At the time of World War I the IWW was antimilitaristic; its members were accused of draft evasion, of fomenting German-paid strikes in order to cripple essential war industries; of sabotage; and of criminal syndicalism.

Some people consider the water struggles in Cochabamba as an unprecedented victory for the poor majority against a huge water corporation; and Cochabamba’s sex workers are hoping to position their new union with as much success.
Organizing women who work on the street or who otherwise avoid self identification as sex workers is no easy task In November, Angelina helped to organize the first meeting of women sex workers in Cochabamba, and journalist Dawn Paley caught up with Justinano a a few weeks later.
Making connections with sex workers unions in other parts of the world is another goal, because we think that many women are facing the same problems in other places, and if we’re going to be strong, we need to stand together.

 Workers of the World Unite Against the Soviet Intervention in Afghanistan!
The Soviet-Finnish war and the subsequent peace treaty proved to the world the strength of the Soviet Union and its determination to uphold the principle of self-determination of nations and peaceful coexistence.
The crucial importance of this was clear to the world proletariat in that it sabotaged the attempt of Anglo-American imperialism to turn the tide of Nazi imperialism against the Soviet Union and so compelled Anglo-American capital to form an alliance with the Soviet Union against Germany.
The workers of the world have to face the painful reality that socialism exists no longer in the Soviet Union after the temporary defeat of the Marxist-Leninist forces headed by J.V. Stalin and the replacement of the dictatorship of the proletariat by the dictatorship of the new bureaucrat state capitalists.

Since the end of World War II, the years 1973-75, 1980-82, 1989-92, 1997-98 and 2001 all marked measurable turns for the worse in world capitalism’s economic imbalances.
Even a layer of workers is made to believe — through propaganda and the stockholdings — that they have an interest in keeping costs down, even if that means super-exploitation of temporary and subcontracted workers.
Previously, this was one of several non-binding social functions, together with building the economy, cultural development of workers, etc. This important change may set the stage for a “division of labor” within China, where greater ACFTU independence and defensive capacity strengthens the Chinese state and labor’s power.

 Workers of the world unite - at the ILO ?
In its realm the workers confront employers and governments in debates on labour standards and rights.
The nation-state plays an important role in the ILO's functioning and its aims and objectives since in order to be effective, the standards have to be put into practice within countries, and in the ILO it is generally states that commit themselves, not corporations.
Bendt (1996, 8) the former ``concentrate mainly on branch-specific questions [and] on support for concrete industrial action'', while the latter ``is mainly involved in lobbying the international organisations [...], in organising and coordinating a strong trade union presence within the ILO and in speaking up in favour of the protections of trade union rights world-wide''.

 eWEEK: (IT) Workers of the World, Unite
As the IT spending slump drags on, resulting in lots of layoffs and little hiring, the pain of unemployed and underemployed IT workers is starting to express itself in some strange ways.
Still, to expect the ITAA to bow to public pressure and declare that the IT work force is in crisis and that the H-1B program must end is a bit like expecting the National Rifle Association to disavow handguns because too many convenience stores are getting held up.
But, with an estimated 10 million or so IT workers in the U.S. to draw from, it would probably be able to at least put on a decent demonstration.

Like mortally wounded beasts, they are drowning amidst their genocide, while launching furious and ridiculous attacks in an effort to cover up the fact that they are rotten to the bone and that their end is near.
