In Germany, where the system of codetermination has established
joint labor-management committees at the most senior corporate levels,
the above trend has been resisted. There has been a deliberate attempt
to integrate the interests of labor and capital. Work sharing has often
replaced layoffs, and there has been a deliberate attempt to maintain
wage levels and social benefits. But with the development of globalized
low-w!:lge production systems, it is very difficult to preserve national policies.
The global economy doesn't respect national boundaries insofar as
the economics of production are concerned. While rules about "local content"
may require global corporations to produce locally if they are to sell
in these markets, the tendency in many globalized industries is to shift
to low-cost manufacturing centers, wherever they may be. The battle
between labor and management is thus now being fought on a global
stage and is intimately connected with the role of multinationals in the
world economy. It is to this dimension of the radical critique of organizations
that we now tum.
