Adapting While Resisting: the Ambivalence of Union Action in the Face of Lean Production
Abstract : This article uses a survey of three French industrial establishments to examine
the persistent difficulties of unionists to make issues of work organization a basis
for collective action – especially when these issues result from lean production.
The authors first revisit the ways in which lean management was introduced into
each of these factories and the unionist critiques they occasioned, largely concentrated
on dissent against the intensification of work and hierarchical pressure.
The article then illustrates the ambivalence of surveyed unionists confronted with
these reorganizations of work and the resulting fragility of worker mobilization,
notably due to divisions generated both between unionists and among workers.
