Trade justice is a campaign by non-governmental organisations lobbying for changes to the rules and practices of world trade. These organizations include consumer groups, trade unions, faith groups, aid agencies and environmental groups.
The organizations campaigning for trade justice posit this concept in opposition to free trade, the advocates of which often also claim pro-poor outcomes. Trade justice advocates argue that truly free trade does not and will never exist, and that governmental policies on trade should be in the public interest, rather than the interest of wealthy entities who try to influence trade negotiation to benefit their individual interests. Advocates of trade justice argue that growing inequity and serious gaps in social justice, and the global export of terrorism, are symptoms of an economic system that permits harms to be exported to other countries, while importing their goods. They point to extinction, deforestation, social unrest, as consequences of globalisation, and in particular of an "unfair" globalisation. In the past, the responses sought by critics of the international trade system included various penalties on "unfair" goods. This argument generally made little headway against the long-term movement towards free trade; imposition of penalties for "dumping" was sometimes motivated by domestic political reasons such as the United States imposition of steel tariffs in 2001).

(stolen video) Acoustic live at Methodist Central Hall, London, 16 April 2005. RECKONER (AKA 'FEELING PULLED APART BY HORSES') unreleased On October 1st, 2007 the track was announced to appear on new album 'In Rainbows'. When the song was first made available on October 10th, the track sounded completely different than the version known as 'Reckoner'. When recording the album, Radiohead made a list on the studio's blackboard (October 1st, 2005) which included 'Reckoner'. In rehearsal for their 2006 tour the song appeared on the blackboard in March 2006 again, in a shorter list of songs. Jonny Greenwood told Gothamist: "Even ones that we finished quickly we spent a long time deciding if they were good enough. None of them were easy, actually. Reckoner kind of came together quickl...

Dr Alex Nicholls - Over the past ten years the market for Fair Trade products has grown at double digit rates across many countries in the North. As a consequence, Fair Trade is today the most significant example of a social enterprise entering mainstream markets. Furthermore, the Fair Trade model has had an influence beyond its own particular markets by playing an important role both specifically in establishing the 'ethical consumer' as a viable market segment and in exposing exploitation across mainstream supply chains to the public more generally. Fair Trade has its roots in a range of social movements that campaigned for trade justice, often within a strong religious (Christian) framework. This paper explores the micro-process through which Fair Trade has been transformed from a socia...

Until very recently, European employers and political leaders denied the need for any coordination in industrial relations at EU level. In 2011, however, the European Parliament and the Council adopted a new European economic governance regime that makes EU member states’ labour market policies subject to multilateral surveillance procedures. This paper analyses this ‘silent revolution’ from above and assesses trade unions’ responses to this challenge. It shows that the EU’s new governance regime does not follow the classical model of a federal state, but rather the governance structures of multinational corporations that control their local subsidiaries through the use of whipsawing tactics and coercive comparisons. European unions and social movements’ difficulties in politicizing Europe...

The Congress of South Africa Trade Unions (COASTU) was instrumental in dismantling apartheid in South Africa in the 1980s, and has long been a force for justice all over the the world. However, over the last several years, a split has emerged and an internal struggle has led to the explosion of key leaders in the movement, including General Secretary Zwelinzima Vavi. The Global African host Bill Fletcher examines this development with Zwelinzima Vavi, former General Secretary of COSATU, and Irvin Jim, General Secretary of NUMSA (National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa). teleSUR http://multimedia.telesurtv.net/v/the-global-african-424437/
