| Resumo: | The purpose of this article is to critically examine the collective bargaining strategies employed by unions during the closure of Nissan Zona Franca and to challenge the assumption that institutional and mobilising power resources are mutually exclusive. By focusing on unions’ ability to mobilise rank-and-file workers and intervene in industrial policy, the article highlights the limitations of micro-corporatist approaches in securing long-term employment. It argues for a more dynamic, context-sensitive understanding of how unions can combine and generate power resources. Ultimately, the study seeks to contribute to union renewal literature by offering actionable insights for navigating global industrial challenges. |
