Abstract
Peter Meyer shows that GM's new Saturn Project involves a quantitative leap in the size and nature of capital investment and a dramatic relocation of production. He analyses its implications for the labour process and for the host community and argues that ‘saturnisation’ will have serious adverse consequences for both local communities and workers' organisations.Keywords
