Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Two of the central questions for the anti-sweatshop movement today are how to regulate transnational corporations (TNCs) and how to empower workers in the global South to defend their rights. This paper –a qualitative study based on participant observation and interviews in Mexico and Guatemala—tackles such questions as they pertain to a specific mechanism for regulating TNCs —that is, corporate codes of conduct—and a specific set of labor rights —that is, freedom of association and collective bargaining— in the context of the global apparel industry. Based on a comparative analysis of code of conduct compliance monitoring systems as they have influenced the outcomes of two cross-border organizing campaigns in global apparel factories —Kukdong (a Nike contractor) in Mexico, and Choishin (a Liz Claiborne contractor) in Guatemala—, the study seeks to articulate issues of institutional design — that is, what type of monitoring systems are most effective for the protection of worker rights— with issues of international labor strategy —that is, what organizing strategies can best take advantage of the opportunities created by codes of conduct to pressure TNCs to respect labor rights.
