Beyond Unions and Collective Bargaining by Leo Troy Pdf
The first book to provide a comprehensive examination of nonunion industrial relations -- its definition and parameters, and the causes and factors that led to the nonunion reality. Beyond Unions and Collective Bargaining focuses on labor relations in the private -- sector labor market, which accounted for about 90% of the sector at the end of 1999. Troy discusses with clarity and authority the transformation in the United States from the organized to the private labor market. Within a two-part format, Troy first deals with the manifold historical conditions that set the stage for the competitive nonunion alternative and then addresses the all-important question, "What makes the nonunion system work?"

Beyond Multinationalism by Jairus Banaji,Rohini Hensman Pdf
This comparative study examines the state of employment conditions and labour relations in Bombay and the Netherlands within the same multinational companies. It describes the office conditions, investment and restructuring decisions, and union problems in both countries. This study makes a detailed comparison of employment conditions and labour relations in Bombay and the Netherlands within the same multinational companies. It demonstrates the considerable divergence between conditions in the India and Netherlands offices in the same companies, the concentration of investment and restructuring decisions in Europe, and the inability of unions to negotiate with multinational companies at an international level.
Rethinking Workplace Regulation by Katherine V.W. Stone,Harry Arthurs Pdf
During the middle third of the 20th century, workers in most industrialized countries secured a substantial measure of job security, whether through legislation, contract or social practice. This “standard employment contract,” as it was known, became the foundation of an impressive array of rights and entitlements, including social insurance and pensions, protection against unsociable working conditions, and the right to bargain collectively. Recent changes in technology and the global economy, however, have dramatically eroded this traditional form of employment. Employers now value flexibility over stability, and increasingly hire employees for short-term or temporary work. Many countries have also repealed labor laws, relaxed employee protections, and reduced state-provided benefits. As the old system of worker protection declines, how can labor regulation be improved to protect workers? In Rethinking Workplace Regulation, nineteen leading scholars from ten countries and half a dozen disciplines present a sweeping tour of the latest policy experiments across the world that attempt to balance worker security and the new flexible employment paradigm. Edited by noted socio-legal scholars Katherine V.W. Stone and Harry Arthurs, Rethinking Workplace Regulation presents case studies on new forms of dispute resolution, job training programs, social insurance and collective representation that could serve as policy models in the contemporary industrialized world. The volume leads with an intriguing set of essays on legal attempts to update the employment contract. For example, Bruno Caruso reports on efforts in the European Union to “constitutionalize” employment and other contracts to better preserve protective principles for workers and to extend their legal impact. The volume then turns to the field of labor relations, where promising regulatory strategies have emerged. Sociologist Jelle Visser offers a fresh assessment of the Dutch version of the ‘flexicurity’ model, which attempts to balance the rise in nonstandard employment with improved social protection by indexing the minimum wage and strengthening rights of access to health insurance, pensions, and training. Sociologist Ida Regalia provides an engaging account of experimental local and regional “pacts” in Italy and France that allow several employers to share temporary workers, thereby providing workers job security within the group rather than with an individual firm. The volume also illustrates the power of governments to influence labor market institutions. Legal scholars John Howe and Michael Rawling discuss Australia's innovative legislation on supply chains that holds companies at the top of the supply chain responsible for employment law violations of their subcontractors. Contributors also analyze ways in which more general social policy is being renegotiated in light of the changing nature of work. Kendra Strauss, a geographer, offers a wide-ranging comparative analysis of pension systems and calls for a new model that offers “flexible pensions for flexible workers.” With its ambitious scope and broad inquiry, Rethinking Workplace Regulation illustrates the diverse innovations countries have developed to confront the policy challenges created by the changing nature of work. The experiments evaluated in this volume will provide inspiration and instruction for policymakers and advocates seeking to improve worker’s lives in this latest era of global capitalism.

Beyond the National Divide by Canadian Industrial Relations Association,Queen's University (Kingston, Ont.). School of Policy Studies Pdf
Studies in industrial relations have concentrated on national differences or variation among industries, with regions assumed to be the result of industrial structure. Traditional treatments of Canadian industrial relations have either ignored regional differences or contrasted Quebec with the other nine provinces. Beyond the National Divide contains separate chapters on eight provinces, plus an introduction to the topic and a conclusion that explains the results in theoretical terms.By examining the economic, political, and social forces that influence industrial relations, authors found that two groups of provinces exist: those with "confirmed systems" and those with "dependent systems." Confirmed systems are found in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia. In these provinces the institutions of collective bargaining and unionism are well established and respected by other stakeholders and labour organizations are important actors in the political and economic life of the province. Dependent industrial relations systems exist in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, and Alberta. In these provinces the institutions of industrial relations lack the strength to resist incursions from hostile governments or employers and the labour movement is a minor actor in the province's economic and political life. The roots of these differences can be traced back to the existence of an active labour party and the extent of bargaining power of labour during the period when labour and institutions of collective bargaining were incorporated into the life of the province.Contributors include Brian Bemmels (University of British Columbia ), John Godard (University of Manitoba ), Michel Grant (Université du Québec à Montréal), Larry Haiven (St Mary's University), Andrew Luchak (University of Alberta), Allen Ponak (University of Calgary), Yonatan Reshef (University of Alberta), Joseph B.

No Extension without Representation? Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Collective Bargaining by Alexander Hijzen,Pedro S. Martins Pdf
In many countries, notably across Europe, collective bargaining coverage is enhanced by government-issued extensions that widen the reach of collective agreements beyond their signatory parties to all firms and workers in the same sector. This paper analyses the causal impact of such extensions on employment using a natural experiment in Portugal: the immediate suspension by the government that took office in 21 June 2011 of the (until then) nearly automatic extensions. The combination of this suspension and the time needed for processing the extension applications resulted in a sharp and unanticipated decline in the extension probability of agreements signed several month earlier around 1 March 2011. Our results, based on a regression discontinuity design and matched employer-employee-agreement panel data, suggest that extensions had a negative impact on employment growth. Moreover, the effects tend to be concentrated among non-affiliated firms. The lack of representativeness of employer associations is a potentially important factor behind the adverse effect of extensions. Another is the role of retro-activity in combination with the administrative delay in processing extensions. This is particularly relevant in the context of a recession.
