*National systems of employment law cannot deal with a capitalism that is globally-integrated. Nor can locally-based worker organizations. The Supply Chain model argues for a global industrial relations based on the negotiation of global collective contracts within supply chains. Key to this is the operating principle of ‘cascaded contractual obligation’. In this, a corporation that is signatory to a global contract must include in each of their supply contracts a clause by which the contractor itself becomes a party to the contract. The author explains how this system might be introduced, funded and enforced, before setting out five things that will need to change, and five that will need to stay the same. *More here: *http://goo.gl/jpIWx* <http://goo.gl/jpIWx>. -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
