Abstract: | This paper focuses on the process of workers’ self-management
brought about by a wave of factory occupations, which has taken
place in Argentina in the last few years, with the support of
preliminary evidence from qualitative fieldwork conducted in four
factories. The aim of the paper is to explore the dynamics of the
decision-making and the re-organisation of the labour process in the
light of the constraints imposed on self-management by market
mediations. The act of occupying a factory, gives room to workers’
control of the labour process and to a more democratic, collective
decision-making. But workers’ need to compete in the market
reduces the sphere of collective decision, leading to centralisation of
power and divisions between directive and productive workers,
hampering the possibility for workers to enrich their job and avoid
self-exploitation. |
