Abstract
This paper will examine the linkages between global big businesses, NGOs and labour standards in the contemporary context of developing nations. Specifically, it will pay close attention to multinational corporations' practices in terms of wages, foreign direct investment and supply-chain formations, and its overall effects on labour standards. Reflections on trade agreements will also be offered in respect to how they affect labour standards. Coiled in this background, the role of NGOs to promote and improve labour standards in developing nations will be critically examined.
