Naomi Klein on Jobs - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 935 Jobs/Naomi Klein: while factories are moving abroad ((s) into cheaper regions), "on the way abroad, they turn into something completely different, namely 'contracts' awarded to a contractor. The latter may subcontract them to up to ten subcontractors.(1) The brand companies of the global North do not invest, they pass on the costs of production to others. >Investments, >Labor, >Costs. This is not about job export. It is about escaping from the role of the employer.(2) LedbetterVsKlein, Naomi: she had no idea of macro economics when she lamented the loss of jobs on the American labour market(3). She had overlooked the importance of increasing productivity in production as well as the important role of small enterprises, which had contributed much more to employment growth in the USA than the large brand companies. KleinVsVs: the central thesis for her is that with the transformation of the employment relationship, production relationships have also changed. Klein: the intensified alienation of labour, the direct exploitation of human labour and the flight of "employers" from their duties and responsibilities have led to the fact that "not even the classic Marxist separation between workers and factory owners is working properly"(4). >Commodity. 1.
