Conclusion: Failed Global Diffusion, Walmart's Exit, and National Institutions. 001439634 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 001439634 520__ $$aThis book explores how the labor practices of the world's largest private employer, Walmart, were contested by unions and regulators in Latin America. 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. 001439634 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001439634 61020 $$aWal-Mart (Firm) 001439634 650_0 $$aSupermarkets$$zSouth America$$xEmployees. 001439634 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001439634 7001_ $$aVeiga, João Paulo Candia,$$eauthor. 001439634 7001_ $$aGalhera, Katiuscia M.,$$eauthor. 001439634 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMartin, Scott B., 1961-$$tLabor contestation at Walmart Brazil.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z3030746712$$z9783030746711$$w(OCoLC)1243352411 001439634 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMartin, Scott B., 1961-$$tLabor contestation at Walmart Brazil$$z9783030746711$$w(OCoLC)1259545972 001439634 830_0 $$aGovernance, development, and social inclusion in Latin America. 001439634 852__ $$bebk 001439634 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-74672-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001439634 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1439634$$pGLOBAL_SET 001439634 980__ $$aBIB 001439634 980__ $$aEBOOK 001439634 982__ $$aEbook 001439634 983__ $$aOnline 001439634 994__ $$a92$$bISE
