International Trade, Labor Relations, and Bargaining Power:
International Strawberry Commodity Networks examines power in the
commercial food system through the history of always available
strawberries. Applying an interdisciplinary approach to case
studies on strawberry production and sales in Mexico, Spain, and
the United States, the author untangles the symbiotic relationships
between the economic boom and labor strife in the sector. By
comparing workers’ struggles in the sector, he develops a novel
model of workplace bargaining power in which the process of dignity
catalyzes change. Since international trade in strawberries began
three decades ago, the sector’s growth has paralleled the rise of
retailer dominance of food sales. Highlighting inequitable gains
from the sales boom, workers have organized mass strikes, boycotts,
and pressure campaigns. The divergent results ranged from ephemeral
acknowledgments of workers’ concerns to the establishment of
union collective bargaining and steadily improving working
conditions. Grounded in extensive research, the book provides fresh
analytical approaches to understanding the social dimensions of
international trade and workplace bargaining power. The book
unpacks the relationship between poor working conditions and
economic growth by applying a new method, international commodity
network analysis, which builds on prior global supply chain
approaches. It explains differences in workers’ initiatives to
improve employment conditions by identifying the process of dignity
in the creation of solidarity.
