As part of the struggle for control over the work process, the business class has implemented since the seventies a series of devices designed to ensure the disciplining of the working class and the maximization of profits. As part of this strategy, the management policies deployed flexibility and labor outsourcing, within and outside the existing regulatory frameworks, altering the balance of power between capital and labor. This paper analyzes the characteristics of the business offensive deployed in Quickfood company´s Martinez plant, Buenos Aires, between 1998 and 2006, addressing in turn the forms of resistance to the offensive attempted by organized labor.

Keywords : Business offensive; Labor flexibility; Labor outsourcing; Labor movement.
