Despite the concerns about wages and the increase in the quality of life of the working classhaving acquired a historical centrality in the struggle repertoires designed at national level, theambition of internationalist solidarity and the emancipation of the forms of collective organization of workers has always been an end in yourself. In the light of current times, it is an ambitionthat can be witnessed in the way that the trends of globalization and contemporary neoliberalismdemand adequate and organized responses, sharing experiences, contributions to new formsof global governance, more just and dignified. And also new learning outcomes for the classicprotagonists of the world of work. By gathering contributions from international experts on theworld of work, from different national contexts and disciplinary affiliations, this dossier fulfillsthis purpose of critical debate, supported by concrete experiences. Here the reader can findcontributions on regional solidarity and union networks, political regulation processes, globaleconomic planning, climate transition, forms of transnational labor organization, informal work,North and South relations, work in the platform economy or digital communication processes.
