Changes in the world of work in the globalization of capital era

In the XXIth Century, the age of globalization, the working class is more and more fragmented, heterogeneous and diversified. They lost most of their rights, their work lacks meaning, which is in accordance with the destructive character of the capital. The metabolic relations under the control of capital make work and labor even more precarious, un-employing, de-employing and under-employing, not to mention the intensification of the levels of exploitation. Thus, we cannot agree with the thesis of the end of labor. This text explores some of the meanings and dimensions of the changes that are taking place in the world of work.
