Abstract: Abstract With the advent of the new ‘productive combination’ (see the Introduction), there has been a complete change in the way in which goods are produced and services are rendered (see Chapters 1, 2 and 4). Qualifications have been replaced by competencies (Chapter 3) and the very structure of employment has changed labour statutes and contracts (Chapter 5). The implementation of certain micro-social arrangements has made the increasing intensity of work acceptable and easier to bear (Chapter 7). Although unionism has been present throughout the course of this study, especially as an essential component of the wage relationship, it seems to have lost much of its weight and does not wield the clout it used so effectively in the previous Fordian system.
