Assessing Work Reorganisation and the Constraints of Standard Labour Practices in Nigerian Food and Beverage Sector

Abstract

The growth in the number of multinational corporations has heightened insecurity and vulnerability for workers globally. Relying on Gramsci hegemony theory as it theoretical leaning, the paper examined work reorganisation and the constraints of standard labour practices in Nigerian Food and Beverage Sector. The study found that casualisation did not encourage best labour practices in the food and beverage industry. There was significant relationship between work reorganisation ( r = 0.29, df (224) =  p < .01) and decent work treatment of non-permanent staff in the beverage sub-sector Therefore, stakeholders should put effective monitoring mechanisms in place to enhance best labour practices in food and beverage industry.
