Global Capitalism and Transnational Class Formation
The matrix of exploitation and temporary employment
The “just in time” neoliberal global consumer economy has given rise to logistics or “goods movement” hubs, reshaping regional labor markets near port cities, and increasing the demand for temporary blue-collar workers. This article provides a case study of earnings inequality among nonsupervisory warehouse workers in Inland Southern California, most of whom are Latina/o. Combining insights from labor market segmentation and intersectional femini…
Global Capitalism and Transnational Class Formation
Organizing Temporary, Subcontracted, and Immigrant Workers
Since 2008, Warehouse Workers United (WWU) has organized thousands of low-wage warehouse workers in Southern California’s Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, many of whom are temporary, subcontracted, and immigrant workers. Warehouse Workers Resource Center (WWRC), formed in 2011, has provided additional legal services and other resources to warehouse workers. Combining protest tactics, a legal and media strategy, and a commodity chain organiz…

Disputes over the periodization of transnational capitalism exist in sociological and related lit…

Certainly, the Great Recession had taken its toll …
The Icon Project
This article—a product of current research on iconic architecture and capitalist globalization—argues that iconicity in general, and in architecture and urban design in particular is a telling case study of how the four fractions of the transnational capitalist class (corporate, political, professional, and consumerist) act to sustain and enlarge their hegemony through the use of both intangible and tangible objects that foster the global diffusi…
