Introduction The definition of globalization stems from capitalism. It is the domination of the world markets by multinational organisations with massive capital bases through the imposition of free trade policies leading to existence in massive frontiers simultaneously. The practice has been ongoing for quite some time but has however picked momentum in the last half decade. Multiple Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) have been signed between nations in a bid to opening up new markets for the maximization of profits for capitalists. The labour markets have not been left untouched, far from it, they are the drivers of globalizations as cheap labour usually amounts to less costs and in turn more revenue, a capitalist’s dream. Like in all other factors affecting the world economy, there have been beneficiaries of this practice as well as losers (Gereffi 2005). Naturally, the beneficiaries are the few privileged members of the society whereas the losers have largely involved the marginalized poor, lowly paid workers ad the environment. Present trends, like melting of the ice caps due to global warming, tend to suggest that unless this practice is regulated, then our very existence is at risk. The regulation of globalization has been regarded as the most challenging task of the political leadership of our time. The Toyota Engineering and Manufacturing, North America (TEMA), company provides a very good platform for the analysis of the operations of globalization. The company is a subsidiary of the Toyota Motor Company (TMC) of Japan and is based in Texas in the United States. The case of Toyota is perfect since it is a blueprint of a multinational company which has 13 plants in North America alone. This helps in dispelling the notion that globalization only happens in developing countries. Toyota has already surpassed general motors in the production of automobiles in the US making it a very good example of a global company at work. The company is accused of being the biggest force in undermining its workers and also the community it exists in. for starters, the 2,000 acre piece of land that the plant sits on was formerly ranch land. Additionally, the company has collaborated with the state in the preference of capital over labour. This has an effect on the way workers are treated, how the community is handled and how the environment is utilized. The location of the plant and all others is along the NAFTA corridor that allows access to the markets in the south as far as Mexico and also on all other directions (Vogel 2006). No study can be conclusive without the examination of the significance the location plays. Theoretical framework Globalization as discussed is a product of communism and is driven by the need for rapid expansion into new markets and also in existing ones. Therefore, there are several characteristics of globalization that can be derived from this description. The first is that globalization is relentless in the search for cheap labour. Hence, companies are opening up subsidiaries in areas where production is cheapest and then exporting these products into the markets that have opened up as a result of the free trade agreements. As a result, there
