The International Labour Movement in the Americas: A Research Agenda
Bibliographic record
Abstract
he international labour movement is as old as modern domestic labour movements. Since their origins in the late 19th century, trade unions have built international links, which soon became formal institutions. Today, International Labour Movement Organizations (ILMOs) can be classified into two categories: political ILMOs, whose affiliates are national trade union centres, that are mostly involved in political representation, in particular to the UN and its agencies; and sectoral ILMOs, whose affiliates are branch-based or occupation-based unions, that are concerned with industry-specific issues and are vehicles for intervention with Multinational Corporations (MNCs).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
