Overview: Today the reality of a restructured and fragmented economy and the individualization of employment relationships make trade union organizing more difficult. Organizing does not mean just recruiting new members in the workplace and providing them with services. Organizing the informal sector should be a priority for unions in view of the ever-increasing number of workers in the sector, both in developing and industrialized countries. Strategies are needed to defend and promote the rights of the ever-growing number of informal sector workers - the majority of whom are women - and to get them to become members of and fully integrated into the trade unions.
