Labor Contestation at Walmart Brazil: Limits of Global Diffusion in Latin America by Scott B. Martin
English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 326 Pages | ISBN : 3030746712 | 4.8 MB

This book explores how the labor practices of the world’s largest private employer, Walmart, were contested by unions and regulators in Latin America. With an in-depth case study of Brazil, and a comparative examination of Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, the authors analyze the problematic encounter between diffusion of home-office antilabor practices and evolving national institutional contexts that sometimes enable considerable union and/or regulatory resistance. Walmart’s “repressive familial” and “anti-union” model is found to generate costs and conflicts that contributed to its exit from Brazil after 23 years.
