This book discusses the experiences of cooperative enterprises in
India that have been operated by or influenced to a significant
extent by trade unions. It describes the origins of these movements
in India presenting a political-strategic view of their development
and, in some cases, their decline. The book also presents case
studies of groundbreaking social experiments conducted in India in
which trade unions have formed cooperatives for production and
service provision for the working class movement. It also offers
lessons learned from previous social experiments and explains how
to use them for future strategies in the working class movement by
using primary research undertaken on trade union cooperatives in
India. With globalization often given as a reason for the decline
of trade unions and transformative social movements, this book
demonstrates that where movements declined it was due to their own
internal weaknesses, while presenting successful case studies of
movements which have shown resilience in the face of globalization.
The book also gives an extensive criticism of India's Self Employed
Women's Association as a model of a depoliticized trade union
cooperative. The main lesson of this book is that cooperatives
represent a viable strategy to build working class power in the
21st century in India, and elsewhere.
