Extending the Domain of the Struggle: The Internationalization of American Activist Expertise in the Labor Union Campaigns of Central AmericaIn massively externalizing their production to the countries of the Global South, many Western companies have concealed from consumers the commonly illegal labor conditions that characterize work in factories engaged in international subcontracting. Going beyond campaigns to raise consumer awareness concerning these practices, in the 1980s American and international labor unions launched direct labor organizing campaigns targeting southern hemisphere workers employed in the sub-contracting factories of electronics and clothing multinationals, particularly Central American sweatshops. The present article describes the origin of this labor union repertory in the context of the externalization of production to the South, focusing on labor organization campaigns in Central America.
