La flexibilidad laboral

Work flexibility is today the most important strategy of companies in front of a competition much more global as it was decades ago. Uncertainties acumulate on market and technology -as factors more difficult to be controled as in the past- what is the reason to companies to move control and new certainties over the third factor they manage localy, the work. As a consequence this demanded availability in hours, salaries, contracts, called flexibility, turns into uncertainty to workers, being most evident as instability of employment. This is the reason why flexibility is a double-faced strategy. In economic terms flexibility allows to controle better costs of production whereas in political terms it controles demands from workers and their organisations.
