GUFs tend to do internal organizing, strengthening individual unions through trainings and educational programs. If you are working on a campaign that involves a multinational corporation (i.e. Coca Cola or IBM), these entities might prove helpful, at least for research and connection with activists working on a similar issue in other countries. Most have regional groupings, such as Latin America or Southeast Asia, and all of them move resources from the North to the global South. Several have offices in Washington. With this general map of the labor movement, we’re ready for some tools of navigation.
