With an in-depth case study of Brazil, and a comparative examination of Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, the authors analyze the problematic encounter between diffusion of home-office antilabor practices and evolving national institutional contexts that sometimes enable considerable union and/or regulatory resistance. Walmart's repressive familial and anti-union model is found to generate costs and conflicts that contributed to its exit from Brazil after 23 years.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/1439634}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-74672-8}, }
