Abstract: | During the 1990s, outsourcing work was commonly associated with the weakening of union organisation and the deterioration of pay, working conditions and job security. A variant of outsourcing, termed here as "insourcing", involves a company purchasing "non-core" functions and services from enterprises located under the same roof. This case study of Fiat outlines the impact of insourcing on traditional arrangements and practices, and analyses the response of Italian local unions. The results show that in the context of "bargained compromise" between trade unions and management in the Italian motor industry insourcing did not have the negative implications for union organisation and employee terms and conditions with traditional outsourcing. |
