PINTO, Geraldo Augusto. Dependent Capitalism and Factory Labor Management in Brazil. Trab. soc. [online]. 2013, n.20, pp.89-101. ISSN 1514-6871.
One of the aspects of countries with relative advanced industrialization in relation to the regional context in which they are situated, such as Brazil in Latin America and the Carebbean, although belated and dependent if compared to transnational industrial centers (Europe, USA and Japan), is the presence of subsidiary plants owned by transnational groups. Aiming for mass-production with state support for an emerging market, such companies have brought from abroad equipments and methods of labor management. As for the latter, however, they find themselves dealing with a local working class whose origins, political composition and qualification differ from the central countries' ones. This allowed management to apply method adaptation which has elevated worker exploitation to higher levels than in classic experience. The goal of this text is to present such aspects, observing the trajectory of Brazilian automotive industry.
