There was an economic boom, post wwii. Then there was a decline, europe and japan combined together and made that decline. Other industries were also growing, which creates competition. Multinational and corporate power: big companies, moving across the borders. Informal work was being done, more difficult jobs. Immigrants get the harder job, because you can pay them a lot less, lack of education, exploitation. Women work more with sewing and men with machines. Give you less terrible, not going to argue, less likely to form collective, unions. Creating more competition and a bit of crisis. There are also political, social, cultural and environmental changes. Negative to social movements: mexican labors resisting nafta, group of people resisting globalization. Working conditions, don"t get the same type of safety equipment"s. Any job is better than no job (developing country) than a developed country. And they don"t know what their rights are. So they accept condition, because they don"t know their rights.
