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.
