Mobilization and organization of work in the First Franco era: the workshops of the State Mobile Park, 1940-1960
Abstract
After Franco's victory in the Civil War, it is imperative to equip oneself with means of transport and communication to rebuild the administrative structure and territorial organization of the State. One of the first major construction operations of the Franco regime will be the construction of the Mobile Park of Civil Ministries since 1940, destined for the collection, scrapping and subsequent reassembly of the State automobile park. The work organization system is a mix between a macro-artisan repair shop and a self-sufficient automobile factory. The production of the workforce that this mixed system of organization requires generates an industrial bubble-community in the center of Madrid that encompasses the integrated management of the productive and reproductive space, as well as the coexistence of diverse modes of discipline and work organization.
