and also helps in making the contract with workers. So, their rights not get void. This
provision helps in maintaining equality in business without any type of discrimination against

According to the given firm, they usually terminate their employees without any
notice due to making of trade union in an organisation. They also gave some other work to
their employees without any premature information. By not providing proper information

services across the countries.
It has improved the living standards of the countries engaged in free trades as income

An advantage that is attached with globalisation is competition, due to which local
merchants have become more attentive and has started working on their quality so as to
compete with the outside world.(Wrigh and McMahan,2011)
Globalisation has provided the benefit of free trade : free trade means where two
countries can trade among each other freely with no barriers. Organisation have the utmost
benefit as they now can provide their customers with -
