General Activities  Research

We are happy to inform you that we are launching the web site of the Global Union Research Network (GURN) today at www.gurn.info.

The GURN is a follow up of the millennium debate of Global Union Federations (GUFs). The Bureau for Workers' Activities (ACTRAV) is supporting this initiative and cooperates with the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) and the Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) to the OECD and many trade unions and research institutions throughout the world to strengthen information sharing, knowledge management and research capacity for trade unions.

On the GURN webpage you can already find information on the following issues:

• Bilateral & regional trade agreements
• Migration
• Corporate governance

• PRSPs/IFIs
• Social & Labour impact of Multinationals
• Global Trade Union Strategies

With kind regards

Jim Baker
