As it spreads its tendrils across the globe, one of Neoliberalism’s most important policy demands has been “labor flexibilization”—coded language for tearing up collective bargaining agreements and dismantling trade unions. In this well researched and insightful study, Santella focuses on the auto industry in Argentina between 1990 and 2007 to draw out how workers have resisted these changes.
