Subjects
Coca-Cola Co. (Atlanta, Georgia) -- Social aspects, Soft drink industry -- Social aspects, Solidarity -- Analysis, Transnationalism -- Social aspects, Employee rights -- Social aspects, Anthropology/archeology/folklore, Ethnic, cultural, racial issues/studies
Abstract

In this article, I explore the concept of 'solidarity' through an examination of the alliances and disjunctures that shaped a transnational campaign against the Coca-Cola Company. I consider how the balance of power within cross-class coalitions influenced the framing of issues and the development of tactics, and I examine the tensions that arose among diverse groups who chose to struggle together but shared different goats and perspectives. I argue that the tabor philanthropy of northern activists on behalf of Colombian workers could not substitute for the tabor solidarity that Colombian workers asked of their northern allies. My study suggests that transnational activists from the North focus on tactics that push states, as well as corporations, to protect tabor rights and that they pay closer attention to the analyses and objectives of the working people with whom they claim solidarity.

Abstract

South Africa's triple transition--toward political democracy, economic liberalization, and racial equity--has generated a variety of responses at workplace level. Rather than a uniform response, a hybrid mix of managerial strategies is emerging that reveals both continuities and discontinuities with past practices. We argue that the challenge facing the South African workplace is to balance the contradictory demands of efficiency, employee rights, and equity arising out of the triple transition. What sort of a trade off, if any, between these competing pressures is required and what is politically feasible remains to be seen. What is clear from our case studies is that the challenge cannot be met unless the legacy of the apartheid workplace regime is decisively overcome. Keywords: work restructuring; democratic transition; informalization of work; call centers; deep level mining
