Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2004.

The thesis examines the question of why black South African food retail sector workers became collectively demobilized during the period of the democratic transition. It argues that changes to the labor process and labor market of retailing divided the workforce into three categories: full-time, casual, and contract workers. However, it finds that the ways workers themselves made sense of processes of labor market resegmentation, articulated their claims, and embarked on actions explains the potency of divisions in the contemporary period. By focusing not on the institutional dynamics of trade unions but on the workers, the thesis uncovers shifting but no less collective claims and protest.

520 $a The thesis examines the question of why black South African food retail sector workers became collectively demobilized during the period of the democratic transition. It argues that changes to the labor process and labor market of retailing divided the workforce into three categories: full-time, casual, and contract workers. However, it finds that the ways workers themselves made sense of processes of labor market resegmentation, articulated their claims, and embarked on actions explains the potency of divisions in the contemporary period. By focusing not on the institutional dynamics of trade unions but on the workers, the thesis uncovers shifting but no less collective claims and protest.
520 $a The thesis details the transformation of food retailing in an urban market historically to explain the emergence of a unified notion of black worker in the 1980s critical to union militancy. It explains restructuring in the industry, explores how particular forms of employment became available for use, and how employment categories structurally divided black workers from similar communities. But, the thesis argues that it is only through examining workers' own articulations of experiences of control and claims for inclusion that we come to understand how workers reproduced lines of division. The thesis contributes to conceptualizations of class experience and forms of labor organizing in contexts of segmented workforces.
