Chapter 14 in North American Free Trade Agreement, 1993, pp 185-187 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The chapters presented in this part examine the role and significance of the North American Free Trade Agreement in relation to cross-border and industry-specific issues. In Chapter 15, James Lane studies the issue of labor turnover and job training in the maquiladora industry. Using exit polls of maquiladora workers, he measures the impact of the training that workers receive in these plants on employee turnover in each plant. Lane’s survey of a sample of 121 maquiladora plants in the San Diego area resulted in 39 usable responses. His research lead him to conclude that the correlation between labor turnover and training is function of the type of training. For example, he found no correlation between labor turnover and classroom training. On the other hand, he found negative correlation between labor turnover and on-the-job training and positive correlation between employee turnover and other training.
