Adapting Spousal Relations and Transnational Family Structures
By examining the families and supporting social structures of Mexican “temporary” migrant workers in Canada’s Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP), this article explains how these transnational families modify their structures in an evolving context of neoliberal transnational regionalization. The authors discuss how migrants and their family members respond to changes associated with circular seasonal migration in order to both reduce thr…
Local Worker Struggles in the Global South
The offshoring of production from the global North to the South has been crucial to the ‘race to the bottom’ in global labour standards. The corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies of Northern transnational corporations—particularly their ‘corporate codes of conduct’—have received much attention for their putative function of limiting this race by regulating labour standards in Southern workplaces. Similar attention has been given to campa…

Too Weak for the Job
The shift of economic production from higher labour standard regimes in the global North to lower standard regimes in the South is undermining enforcement of global labour standards. Responding to criticisms from the ‘anti-sweatshop’ movement, consumers and governments, many transnational corporations (TNCs) have adopted codes of conduct to regulate labour standards in their supplier factories. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are increasing…
Bringing the Local Back In
The conflict in 2001 at the Kukdong (now Mexmode) maquila garment factory is one of the rare cases of success in the wider struggle for independent unionism in Mexico. The success of the struggle, which has attracted scholars interested in the campaigns against sweatshop labour conditions and on behalf of labour internationalism, has been attributed chiefly to the role played by transnational advocacy networks in mobilizing pressure on the global…

From Fordist Worker Resistance to Post-Fordist Capitalist Hegemony
The Impact of the Postwar Compromise on Canadian Unionism
At the heart of Canada's Fordist class compromise after World War II lay a new unionism which reinforced managerial control in the workplace. By repudiating rank-and-file initiatives against various dimensions of management control of the labour process, the new unionism displaced a potentially transformative kind of unionism that arose during the war. The significance of this transition is explored through a comparative examination of the relati…
