The proliferation of free trade agreements (FTAs) since the early 1990s across the world represents one the major aspects of advancing neoliberalism. Free trade agreements have negatively affected workers both North and South, and therefore the issue of confronting them became central for national and international labour movements. In this context, Free Trade and Transnational Labour is a remarkable contribution to the debate regarding the role of trade union and transnational solidarity as a strategy to challenge such agreements.
