Key Points

The aim is to critically analyze concepts of precarious work and their contradictions with Marxist theory of wage labour.
Analyzed four precariousness theories identified by Althusser: Italian operaism, labor market segmentation, the precariat as a new class, and Dutch global labor history.
Conducted surveys, interviews, and focus group studies in three Slovenian companies.
Identified four key concepts related to labor exploitation: class composition dynamics, proletariat co-exploitation, super-exploitation, and unfree wage labor.
Raised questions about the political organization of workers and the dynamics of exploitation in global capitalism.

Theoretical critique explores wage labour dynamics, concepts of exploitation, and worker organization.
