Abstract
Hungary has emerged as a major global production hub for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles. The paper explores labour fragmentation within the battery industry and demonstrates that three distinct worker groups are produced by the multiscalar labour regime: relatively secure and well-compensated core workers with permanent contracts, domestic agency workers on temporary contracts, and vulnerable migrant agency workers. The analysis focuses on three scales of the multiscalar labour regime: the global political economy, the national scale in which the state regulates labour, and the scale of the factories.
