MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "analyticapublications.bmetrack.com" claiming to be Volume 8 No 1: Labour in the circuits of global markets: theories and realities
/ http://analyticapublications.bmetrack.com/c/l?u=3C68520&e=510BC6&c=14F0F&t=0&l=7BC346C&email=Ygy%2BYVep8siioecn6OX%2FFXnlkRjLUbPe
It is Supply chains are becoming
ever more tightly integrated as corporations vie with each other to
bring their products to global markets before they lose their value
through replication or obsolescence. This restructuring of supply chains
involves the interaction of a range of different public and private,
local and global actors, including companies involved in
‘knowledge-based’ activities as well as those producing and shipping
material goods. Both intellectual and manual labour are implicated in
these processes of consolidation and acceleration and feel the squeeze:
in intensification of work, the precarisation of working conditions and
the fragmentation of the workforce, raising challenges for the
organisation and representation of labour. This volume brings together
accounts of what is happening to logistical labour along global supply
chains with theoretical discussions of the problematic relationship
between the ‘knowledge-based’ and real economies, and material and
immaterial labour. It also presents research on other dimensions of
labour precariousness, with contributions from Europe, Asia and the
Americas. This volume makes important contributions in the fields of
political economy, geography and labour sociology.
