DELFINI, Marcelo  and  DROLAS, Ana. Labour management within the framework of collective bargaining at multinational enterprises. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2014, n.76, pp.125-145. ISSN 0873-6529.  https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2014762901.

Multinational companies are major actors in labour relations, all the more so at the moment in that many are seeking to impose flexible labour practices on their subsidiaries. The importance of these firms in Argentina is making an analysis of the way in which they are managing their workforces there a central issue. This article’s goals are thus to construct an analytical typology that makes it possible to determine both the different management practices that can be identified by a study of the Collective Labour Contracts involving multinationals, and the extent to which they constitute flexible forms of management; and then to observe the relationship between those practices and the specific characteristics of multinationals, while taking the latter’s country of origin, economic activity, and size into account.

Keywords : multinational companies; labour relations; workforce management.
