Tiivistelmä:This study develops a critical re-conceptualization of "diversity" through class. Drawing on the case of CarCo, the Belgian branch of a North American automobile company, it is indicated how the discursive constructions of multiple socio-demographic identities reflect underlying class relations between labour and capital. It is found that female, older and disabled workers were discursively constructed as incapable or unwilling to perform as expected within the factory lean production system. These negative identities in turn legitimized the elimination of "different" workers in the firm restructuring and the outsourcing.
