Abstract
À l’aide d’une étude de cas relative à l’initiative syndicale de travailleurs informels à kolkata, en Inde, nous démontrons qu’afin d’améliorer leurs conditions de travail et leur niveau de vie les travailleurs informels, dans les pays en voie de développement, ne peuvent se contenter de se conformer aux principes d’organi sation traditionnelle des syndicats. Il leur est nécessaire de constituer des regroupements de travailleurs susceptibles d’intégrer de nombreuses autres institutions afin de renforcer leur pouvoir de négociation.
With the help of a case study of a trade union initiative of informal workers in Kolkata, India, I argue that if informal workers in developing countries have to ameliorate their working conditions and living standards, they cannot adhere to the traditional organizing principles of a trade union. They need to form a larger aggregation of workers integrating many other institutions in order to enhance their bargaining power
