Abstract: Against current views of civic nationalism as a wholly democratizing ideology, this paper explores how the discourse both advanced formal racial equality and opposed more radical challenges to racism in the context of New Deal politics and the UAW. |

| 2. Tackney, Charles. "Comparative Legal Ecologies of the Modern Enterprise: Case Analysis of the 1988 Flint UAW Strikes" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, Sheraton Boston and the Boston Marriott Copley Place, Boston, MA, Jul 31, 2008 Online <PDF>. 2009-12-04 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p242463_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: In 1998, two strikes by the United Auto Workers Union in Flint, Michigan General Motors plants began a chain of events that brought the firm’s “lean” and globally integrated manufacturing processes to a nearly complete halt. The research reported in this paper examines the causes and crises in this case from the perspective of a novel legal ecology enterprise model. The model, based upon industrial relations research into Japan’s lifetime employment system, distinguishes between competitive modes of production and their necessary, enabling work modes of social relation in U.S. German, and Japanese cases. Application of this model to the 1988 UAW strikes in Flint and their documented consequences clearly demonstrate the labor-management adaptive failure of General Motors. Corrective steps are specified in the enabling modes of social relation that ensure an enterprise legal ecology that is both globally competitive and sustainable. |
