Abstract
The establishment, curriculum and education system of Global Labour University (GLU) have demanded networking and cooperation with other stakeholders, for instance, universities, trade unions, NGOs, and the International Labour Organisation (ILO). The mission of GLU is based on the role of ILO on the knowledge management. The GLU’s goal is to develop the tripartite relations to be social partners through its Master's programs, academic certificate programs, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). In fact, tripartite roots for the power relations and the lack of collective bargaining with employers. Ultimately, it is still puzzled who gains the benefits from the establishment of global union and neo-liberal globalization of governance. Answers to such question will lead to better understanding on labor in an era of globalization.
