The Breakdown of Supply

Longtime labor activist and scholar Kim Moody argues in a recent article in the Guardian that while just-in-time supply chains were a boon to big business, they have contributed to rising prices, the squeezing of labor and critical delays in delivery of goods. Patricia Kullberg reads an excerpt from “Why it’s High Time to Move on from ‘Just-in-Time’ Supply Chains,” published Oct 14, 2021. Moody was a founder of Labor Notes in the US and is the author of several books on labor and politics.
