There is much proof that this technology can advance the interests of the working class but unfortunately trade unions in developing country have not yet managed to take advantage of it. Many workers dismiss the subject because they do not understand it, and because of its high profile, believe it to be nothing more than a fashion accessory. Effective and efficient communications between worker movements around the world are important in order to achieve international worker solidarity on the same level as capital which uses it to oppress the working class. Traditional communications between worker organisations by faxes, publications, and exchange programmes are outdated. Now worker action is happening increasingly often.
Capital can relocate easily from one developing country to another.
Indirectly it decreases workers' confidence to fightback to restore state involvement in labour relations. Transnational corporations and other capitalist organisations can also develop and use IT very well, especially to control workers. If we need our communications systems to match those of capitalists, there is no more effective way than maximising Internet functions. There are several difficulties for trade unions in the Third World to use the Internet. One of the biggest problems is that union organising is still done by traditional communications.
