Her doctoral thesis analyses the recruitment and import of labor force from third world countries through a system designed by the Catalonian agricultural union Unió de Pagesos and the effects that it manifests in the fundamental rights of the workers. In both, a critical perspective is taken to analyze regulations that permits overcrowding and the rise of a system of “just in time” deliver of labor, through the concentration of foreign workers in lodgments, as she also takes a critical perspective towards the institutions that benefit from the intensive use of migrant labor.
