<br/><br/> WITH growing repression from employers and governments, union power is on a steady decline. Unions have often relied on collective bargaining agreements (CBA) as a tool to represent workers’ interest, especially for workers in the formal sector. With drastic changes in workers composition and how work is organized, traditional forms like CBAs often exclude the informal sector where a majority of the surplus labour is captured. Traditional unions, especially in South Asian countries, have not been able to make major headway in organizing the informal sector. Thus, members continuously question trade union capacities in representing their interests. - Reproduced
