A book about how global unionism was born in the maritime shipping sector. It argues that the industrial structure of shipping, and specifically the interconnected nature of shipping production chains, facilitated the globalization of union bargaining strategy, and the transnationalization of union structures for mobilizing industrial action.

A Global Union for Global Workers illustrates how unions in one industry successfully set global minimum wages and working conditions, and participated authoritatuively in global governance in their industry. Nathan Lillie powerfully highlights the potential for the labour movement to become an effective transitional force and participant in democratic global governance. The inability of most unions to adapt to the new conditions and their consequent decline, is a threat to workers' living standards everywhere, and to prospects for a more democratic system of global governance.
