不稳定的劳工研究突出表明，造成移徙者易受劳工剥削的多方面因素。这一条采取了不同的方法，关注劳动关系中可能的互惠性-尽管存在不平等的权力动态-特别是在工作场所规模小，涉及移徙工人和移徙雇主之间的日常互动的情况下。研究方法是基于对圣地亚哥华人经营的零售商店和餐馆的观察，以及对中国雇主及其不同背景的拉美移民雇员的采访。提出“不稳定的劳资关系”的概念，我们研究独立和共同的不确定性之间的移民雇主和工人谁是不同的边缘化，通过种族/移民身份轴在智利。分析动态的层次结构，（错误）的信任，以及互惠这些演员如何谈判不稳定和安全的工人和/或移民，我们复杂的二分法的剥削和阻力的移民劳动力研究，突出雇主和工人之间的多维关系时，都是种族化的移民和少数民族。
Precarious labour research has highlighted the multidimensional factors shaping migrants' vulnerability to labour exploitation. This article takes a different approach by attending to the possible reciprocity in labour relations- despite unequal power dynamics- particularly when workplaces are small and involve daily interactions between migrant workers and migrant employers. Methodology is based on observations in Chinese-run retail shops and restaurants in Santiago, and interviews with Chinese employers and their Latin American migrant employees of diverse backgrounds. Proposing the concept of "precarious labour relations", we examine the independent and shared uncertainties between migrant employers and workers who are differently marginalized through race/migrant status axes in Chile. Analyzing dynamics of hierarchy, (mis)trust, and reciprocity in how these actors negotiate precarity and security as workers and/or migrants, we complicate dichotomies of exploitation and resistance in migrant labour research, by foregrounding the multidimensional relationship between employers and workers when both are racialized migrants and minorities.
