This comprehensive book delves into the lives and experiences of Indian garment workers and their organizations, placing them at the forefront of its analysis. By examining the Bangalore export-garment cluster as a case study, the book explores the factors that both enable and hinder the collective power of garment workers unions in improving their working conditions. Drawing upon theoretical concepts from labor geography, relational economic geography, and Global Production Network (GPN) analysis, the book highlights the challenges and constraints faced by workers and unions within the complex labor control regime of the Bangalore export-garment cluster.
However, it also showcases the innovative strategies developed by local garment unions in Bangalore to overcome these challenges by leveraging coalitional power resources from worker, consumer, and labor rights organizations in the Global North.
As a result, this book holds immense relevance for economic geographers, scholars interested in the dynamics of labor and development within GPNs, unionists, and labor rights activists who are dedicated to improving working conditions in the global garment industry.
Moreover, this book is published under an open access policy, ensuring that its insights and knowledge are accessible to a wide audience, fostering greater understanding and collaboration in the field.
