Abstract
The sugar industry in its present co-operative-dominated form is under thre at from the forces of privatisation and globalisation. Sugar factory labour , which has forged all-India solidarity, is fighting for the cooperatives' survival. The possibility of an alliance between these workers and the suga rcane cultivators, hitherto very inadequately mobilised against the threat, has become a real one.
