Why would labour regard globalisation as a threat?
             Globalisation is the term that refers to the acceleration and intensification of mechanisms, processes and activities that are allegedly promoting global interdependence and perhaps, ultimately, global political and economic integration. At its core it is a revolutionary concept, involving the destruction of social, political, economic, and cultural life.
