Özet
This study presents some theoretical considerations of the TEKEL workers' resistance movement in Turkey, focusing on four points. Those are: working-class formation in tension with identity formation; precariousness, which is examined by employing analytical distinctions between forms and modes of employment; the struggle for rights as a new pattern of class struggle; and the neoliberal citizenship regime, which implies sweeping labourers as a class away from the ‘political society’ in favour of engagement with their cultural identities. © 2011, SAGE Publications.
