Transnational Employment Relations in the European Union<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The ILR Review <\/em>invites submissions for a conference and subsequent special issue devoted to transnational employment relations in the European Union (EU).<\/p>\n\n

The aim of the special issue is to examine the actors, processes, and outcomes of transnational employment relations in the EU, including the impact of EU interventions on employment relations within and across member states, as well as the effects of countervailing collective action on the European integration process.<\/p>\n\n

Articles are invited for the special issue that deal with any aspect of transnational employment relations in the EU before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Such topics might include current research on actors, processes, policies, and outcomes of European employment relations. Contributions may be quantitative or qualitative empirical studies but can also address transnational employment relations in the EU from a historical and\/or comparative perspective. Thus, the special issue aims to sample leading research in the field and spell out possibilities for future research.<\/p>\n\n

Scholars interested in participating in this conference and special issue should submit an extended abstract of 4 to 5 pages (up to 2,500 words) by June 15, 2021<\/strong>, to Valeria Pulignano<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Transforming Care Work within an Era of Changing Priorities of Care Policy<\/span><\/p>\n\n

This thematic special issue of\u00a0Transfer<\/em>\u00a0titled \u2018Transforming care work within an era of changing priorities of care policy\u2019 explores how policy, institutional and market-driven transformations of care regimes across Europe impact upon the quality of care services and the quality of care work. In this special issue, we bring together a range of national perspectives on changing models of care delivery and care work that spans\u00a0Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0the UK<\/em>, complemented by a transnational analysis of EU health-care policy. Although each contribution situates the specific challenges of precariousness in a particular institutional and market context, by collating these seven perspectives we see common challenges emerging for care workers in diverse settings including residential, domiciliary and long-term care, public and private sectors, liberal and coordinated market economies, as well as southern, northern and eastern Europe with varied traditions of formal and informal familial care.

Given the significant challenges arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic this special issue is an important opportunity to reflect on the resilience of care systems across Europe, while also exploring alternative futures for care workers and care work. Newspaper reports of staff shortages, a lack of personal protective equipment, and the limited entitlement of many workers to welfare benefits are all clear symptoms of a sector in crisis. But while there are acute challenges arising specifically from COVID-19, the pandemic has in many ways crystallised long-term structural problems in how care services are funded, designed, and delivered. For example, demographic shifts such as an ageing population and increased international migration, set against the restructuring and retrenchment of welfare states in many countries have created significant challenges in terms of the coverage and quality of state-funded care services. Additionally, cost-driven outsourcing combined with the weakening of collective bargaining pose challenges for the stability of care services, and for the regulation of working conditions. These issues highlight the various contradictions between the different roles of the state in shaping the market for care services as a policy-maker and macroeconomic regulator, as an employer, and as a \u2018client\u2019 at the head of increasingly long and complex supply chains. This special issue will cover a series of issues dealing directly or indirectly with such contradictions.<\/p>\n\n

This special issue makes two main contributions. The first is to explore the consequences of the long-term fragmentation and marketisation of care for both quality and working conditions, ranging from the transnational level through to the workplace level. The second is to empirical debates around the role of trade unions in contesting the erosion of standards in care work, while also identifying new theoretical frontiers in the debates around the nature of collective worker action and the future of organised labour in low-wage industries. The articles in this special issue point to a dynamic, if fragile, patchwork of solutions to precariousness that encompass organising, mobilising, and social campaigning, driven forward by a mixture of militancy and social partnership. Hence, while this special issue further exposes the entrenched precariousness faced by care workers as a result of long-term policy failures and myriad regulatory weaknesses and gaps, it also reveals the scope for contestation and resistance to downward pressures on care work and care workers.<\/p>\n\n

Global Value Chains and their Employment Relations Consequences<\/span><\/p>\n\n

This special issue of BJIR concerns the issue of the emergence, growth and evolution of global commodity chains and related employment relations issues. The relationship between supply chain relationships and the workplace is topical and referred to explicitly by the ILO agenda on international work and by the OECDs concerns with skills (OECD, 2017). While topical, much of the research in the area focuses on power relations between firms in chains and employment relations concerns being a secondary issue. However, this is changing and an emerging number of recent publications in the BJIR examine the employment relations consequences of supply chains. This special issue brings this emerging research together into a coherent and unified volume.<\/p>\n\n

Informal and Precarious Work: Insights from the Global South<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Informal and precarious work remains an enduring reality across the Global South and is growing fast in the North. A recognition that this form of work is the norm globally rather than the exception has ignited debates around analytical frames, activist strategies and development interventions. Engaging with Southern realities, as this special issue aims to do, helps contribute to a better understanding of this rising form of work globally while also providing insights into workers\u2019 resistance and development policy limitations. Through detailed case studies from across the Global South, this special issue argues that informal and precarious work needs to be studied as embedded in concrete, historical, political and social contexts. It highlights the heterogeneity and complexity of intersecting social and material relations that underpin informal and precarious work which has crucial implications for class dynamics and political agency of labour.<\/p>\n\n

Contending with Precarity, Temporariness and Life Aspirations in the Context of International Labour Migration<\/span><\/p>\n\n

This special issue is the result of a workshop that took place at the\u00a0On the Move: Employment-related Geographical Mobility in Canada and Beyond International Symposium\u00a0<\/em>in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, in November 2018. The editors and contributors are all involved, variously as co-investigators and research trainees, with\u00a0On the Move<\/em>, a Memorial University of Newfoundland-based Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada-funded partnership project focused on documenting and assessing the impacts of extended and complex internal and international employment-related geographical mobility for workers, their families, employers, communities and governments. Over the course of the project, the issue of international labour migration has emerged as highly topical and critical to understanding the broader dynamics of mobility for work in the contemporary global context.

New Directions in Employment Relations Theory: Understanding Fragmentation, Identity, and Legitimacy<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Because the field of employment relations examines a particular set of social arrangements\u2014the organization of employment\u2014our theories need to adapt as those social arrangements evolve. A rich body of research has documented how work is being reshaped by such forces as the changing role of organized labor in society, the growing complexity of supply chains within and across national borders, the shifting role of the state in regulating employment, and the increased incorporation of previously marginalized voices. Yet we have arguably made less progress in thinking through what these changes mean for the fundamental frameworks that we use to understand the employment relationship.

The goal of this special issue is to advance the development of theory in labor and employment relations by bringing together projects that advance new frameworks and arguments for understanding the changing world of work. Our hope is that these articles can help to reshape our research and identify the critical forces that shape modern employment.<\/p>\n\n

Bamber <\/strong>(Monash University), Rick Delbridge <\/strong>(Cardiff University), Virginia Doellgast <\/strong>(ILR School, Cornell University), Jo Grady <\/strong>(UCU, London), Irena Grugulis <\/strong>(Leeds University)<\/p>\n\n

Situating Human Resource Management Practices in their Political and Economic Context<\/span><\/p>\n\n

This special issue focuses on Situating Human Resource Management (HRM) Practices in their Political and Economic Contexts<\/em>. In an introductory article, the guest editors develop a novel multilevel framework for exploring the political economy of HRM and use this to position the articles in this special issue. They argue that the study of HRM is often too narrowly constructed within a psychological, positivistic paradigm and at an organisation\u2010level, and that situating HRM in its political and economic context requires a more inclusive, interdisciplinary approach that includes the use of kaleidoscopic imagination and meta\u2010theoretical bricolage. By embracing a theoretically pluralist approach to studying HRM, researchers are better able to analyse how different levels of the political economy interact with specific HRM practices to impact value creation. They conclude by discussing the contribution of this article and the special issue, as well as highlighting avenues for future research.<\/p>\n\n

The other articles in the special issue illustrate the usefulness of our framework in theorising the role of the different contextual layers of the political economy in shaping HRM practices and outcomes. None of the articles examines the full array of relationships and variables included in the framework, but rather they examine various combinations of these tiers and the relations among them. Together, they demonstrate how specific layers are more salient within explanations of different topics, issues, and subjects in the field of HRM research.<\/p>\n\n

A European and Comparative Legal Approach on Digital Workers<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Bordeaux University\u2019s Centre for Comparative Labour and Social Security Law (COMPTRASEC) held a European workshop<\/span><\/span><\/a> in November 2018 dedicated to a comparative legal approach to the platform economy and the questions it raises in terms of social legislation. Ten countries (Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States) representing a wide variety of legal traditions and faced with different levels of digitalisation of the economy were analysed by legal experts for labour and social security affairs: what are the legal conflicts arising from this new business model, how is national jurisprudence evolving, how are the respective players adapting their strategies?

Already summarized in a working paper entitled The platform economy and social law: Key issues in comparative perspective<\/span><\/span><\/a> published by Isabelle Daugareilh<\/strong>, Christophe Degryse<\/strong> and Philippe Pochet<\/strong> (under the European Trade Union Institute imprint), the complete national contributions (Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and the United Kingdom) will form the substance of the special issue of the Comparative Labor Law and Policy Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

La responsabilit\u00e9 des entreprises reformul\u00e9e par la loi\u00a0: un regard pluridisciplinaire<\/span><\/p>\n\n

La promulgation de la loi fran\u00e7aise relative au devoir de vigilance des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s m\u00e8res et donneuses d\u2019ordre, le 27 mars 2017, a marqu\u00e9 un tournant majeur dans le r\u00e9gime de responsabilit\u00e9 des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s commerciales. Cette loi pr\u00e9voit d\u00e9sormais l\u2019obligation, pour toutes les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s fran\u00e7aises d\u00e9passant un certain seuil de salari\u00e9s, d\u2019\u00e9tablir et de mettre en \u0153uvre un \u00ab plan de vigilance \u00bb propre \u00e0 identifier et \u00e0 pr\u00e9venir les atteintes graves envers les \u00ab droits humains et les libert\u00e9s fondamentales \u00bb, \u00ab la sant\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des personnes \u00bb et \u00ab l\u2019environnement \u00bb ; et ce pour ce qui concerne leurs activit\u00e9s mais aussi celles de leurs filiales, de leurs sous-traitants ainsi que des fournisseurs avec lesquels est entretenue \u00abune relation commerciale \u00e9tablie\u00bb. L\u2019obligation l\u00e9gale de mise en \u0153uvre d\u2019un plan de vigilance ouvre \u00e0 un double r\u00e9gime de la responsabilit\u00e9 pour la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 donneuse d\u2019ordre d\u00e9faillante : celle-ci pourra d\u2019une part \u00eatre oblig\u00e9e, par une proc\u00e9dure d\u2019injonction, d\u2019adopter un plan de vigilance conforme \u00e0 la loi ; d\u2019autre part, elle pourra r\u00e9pondre des pr\u00e9judices caus\u00e9s par ses filiales ou relations commerciales \u00e9tablies, et que la mise en \u0153uvre d\u2019un plan de vigilance effectif aurait permis d\u2019\u00e9viter.

C\u2019est pour inscrire cette exp\u00e9rimentation juridique dans un contexte complexe et multidimensionnel\u00a0que ce dossier propose d\u2019appr\u00e9hender la notion de devoir de vigilance \u00e0 la fois comme produit politique, comme objet juridique et comme norme de gestion. Par ce regard pluridisciplinaire, qui prolonge et d\u00e9passe l\u2019abondante production doctrinale sur le devoir de vigilance, les contributions r\u00e9unies ici permettent d\u2019\u00e9clairer les enjeux et les probl\u00e9matiques relatives \u00e0 ce processus d\u2019appr\u00e9hension juridique de la responsabilit\u00e9 sociale des entreprises.<\/p>\n\n

Transnational Futures of International Labour Law<\/span><\/p>\n\n

This special issue emerges from an initiative to commemorate the centenary of the International Labour Organization (ILO). With the support of a 2016 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Fellowship, the guest editor had the honour to offer a bilingual course at the McGill University Faculty of Law<\/span><\/span><\/a> entitled the Transnational Futures of International Law: La justice sociale dans le monde du travail.<\/p>\n\n

The Winter 2019 Transnational Futures of International Labour Law course was a collective effort, characterized by a rich mix of presentations and comments to registered students (who also had the opportunity to comment on the speakers\u2019 presentations) from leading and emerging scholars from around the world, high ranking international labour officials, independent UN experts and several dignitaries. Each session was also webcast live, and was joined by a vast group of participants worldwide. A webarchive<\/span><\/span><\/a> of the lectures remains available, and serves as a source for ongoing knowledge- sharing and reflection on international labour law.<\/p>\n\n

This special issue builds on a number of the stellar presentations for the course. Each represents a distinct, important dimension of the emerging field of transnational labour law.<\/p>\n\n

Institutional experimentation for better (or worse) work<\/span><\/p>\n\n

In different national, institutional and organisational contexts, and in conditions of uncertainty, worker organisations, old and new, are experimenting in response to the major fault lines of change they face. This special issue focuses on these processes of experimentation: the disruption of traditional forms of regulation of work and employment; how a variety of actors are engaged in experimentation about the governance of work and employment; how these actors are making claims on the state; how these processes can lead to better and to worse work; and how strong sets of capabilities and particular configurations of resources on the part of those engaged in experimentation can contribute to new forms of work regulation and indeed better work. Key themes include the agency and resilience of actors and their development of new collective capabilities, the importance of deliberation and democracy, the strategic and reflexive nature of their experimentation, the potential scalability of experimentation into new forms of institutionalisation integrating core values such as equality, solidarity and democracy, and new models of research aggregation requiring ongoing dialogue between actors and researchers.<\/p>\n\n

Transnational Futures of International Labor Law<\/span><\/p>\n\n

During the annual International Labour Conference in Geneva in June 2019, the ILO adopted the Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work and a pair of path-breaking legal instruments on the elimination of violence and harassment. In addition, the Office of the Legal Advisor convened leading scholars to reflect on \u201cILO100: Law for Social Justice,\u201d and ILO officials have been present at scholarly conferences discussing the organization\u2019s past and future.<\/p>\n\n

One such contribution to the ILO\u2019s centenary, out of which this AJIL Unbound symposium emerges, was a course, the Transnational Futures of International Labor Law, convened at the McGill University Faculty of Law<\/span><\/span><\/a>. The course featured twelve weeks of live webcast lectures by leading scholars from around the world on topics including corporate social responsibility, reliance on international labor standards by regional and domestic courts, labor market informality through the lens of climate justice, and the ILO\u2019s approach to prison labor under the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29). Most sessions included commentary by senior legal experts from the ILO\u2019s permanent secretariat, the International Labour Office.<\/p>\n\n

Migrants at Work<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Canada introduced a non-industry-specific temporary foreign worker program in 1973, which in the 1990s started to become more clearly divided into \u2018high-skilled\u2019 and \u2018low-skilled\u2019 streams. In the early 2000s, several changes were made to the program that expanded the low- skilled stream. One of the consequences of these changes was to shift the source of temporary migrant workers from the Global North to the Global South. Commentators have argued that one of the driving forces behind the growth of low-skilled temporary migration is the need to ensure the country\u2019s labour market needs without encumbering the state with citizenship obligations. As we are learning, even this does not balance tensions between market imperatives and nativist demands. When the issue of temporary labour migration started to attract significant negative publicity in 2013, the government implemented a range of reform measures, which were mostly designed to assuage concerns that Canadian jobs were being taken by foreigners. Despite the compelling evidence of temporary migrant workers being treated poorly in their workplaces, subjected to wage theft, to dangerous occupational hazards, and to regular violations of other workplace rights and entitlements, there were only limited reforms aimed at improving the working conditions of these workers. Even those measures intended to ensure better enforcement of their limited labour rights appear not to have had an unambiguously positive impact on the migrant workers.<\/p>\n\n

It is in this context that the Centre for Law in the Contemporary Workplace, with the generous support of the Queen\u2019s University Faculty of Law and CRIMT’s Institutional Experimentation for Better Work Partnership Project, organized the \u2018Migrants at Work in Canada\u2019 symposium<\/span><\/span><\/a> on 20 and 21 April 2018 in Kingston, Ontario. The symposium assembled a multidisciplinary group of academic researchers as well as advocates from prominent migrant justice organizations. The five articles that appear in this special issue are the fruits of this exchange. Some of the articles have a Canadian and US focus although their significance reaches well beyond the borders of North America, while others take a more explicitly international approach.<\/p>\n\n

The Uberisation of Work<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\u00ab The uberisation of work \u00bb refers to a new form of work at the crossroads of self-employment and employment. National judges have often been confronted with this issue, but the emergence of service platforms, such as UBER, has brought the debate on the characteristics of the workforce to the forefront of the legal arena. If the legislator seems passive, the same cannot be said of the judge. The various case law cases discussed demonstrate that the courts are uncomfortable with this issue. Some judges have decided to change the criteria for salaried employment in order to allow these workers who benefit from a certain independence from the qualification of employee. This is the case with the California Supreme Court, which has reformed an old and well-established jurisprudence. Other judges, without touching the classic criteria of salaried employment, did not hesitate to include platform workers in the category of employees. The French Court of Cassation, putting an end to a certain hesitation in the case law, ruled that the particular nature of the activity of platform workers was by no means sufficient to rule out the qualification of employee. However, some judges, without recognising the status of employees, have granted these workers certain rights. This is the case for the British magistrates who did not hesitate to criticise the contractual arrangement that UBER imposes on its drivers to make them artificially qualify as self-employed. Similarly, Canadian judges have also pilloried this attitude of platforms that use their dominant position to impose unfair clauses, such as arbitration clauses, to deny workers access to a judge. It is rare at present for a Praetorian consensus to be established in a State. Thus, in Spain, Netherlands and Switzerland there were divergent responses. Other judges, in Brazil and Italia, refuse to change the traditional criteria of salaried employment, which results in depriving many workers using these platforms of the protection of employees\u2019 status. Finally, some judges have not yet given an answer as the South African judge who has not yet taken a clear position.<\/p>\n\n

The eleven contributions to this special issue consider national responses to this challenge.<\/p>\n\n

Towards a Platform Capitalism ?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

This special issue of La nouvelle revue du travail<\/em> entitled: “Towards a Platform Capitalism? “situates from the outset the radical transformations that digital platforms are introducing into contemporary capitalism; in several places one could speak of a break with the way these platforms are transforming work in itself, its conditions of exercise and especially employment.<\/p>\n\n

The articles in this issue present the results of the first surveys carried out in various sectors of the platform economy, surveys largely focused on the transformations to work induced by the latter. Behind this economic model considered innovative, what characterizes this new type of economic transaction is that the providers of work are often individuals who are not salaried, or even professionals. They are the ones who own the means of production and the work force that they sell as independents, either directly to consumers or to an intermediary. The workers of these platforms assume the risks related to the activity (investment, clientele, physical risk) while having little autonomy in the organization of the work itself (calibrated processes, prices set by the platform, controls by the latter and by consumers).<\/p>\n\n

Decolonizing Labour Law: Contributions to an Emergent Transnational Labour Law<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The contributors to this special issue examine the ways in which the emerging transnational labor law (TLD) can contribute to the dissociation of labor law from its paradigmatic and usual narrative framework, an atomized framework, dating from the industrial revolution, which takes as a model of the worker the adult, white male, sole wage earner of his nuclear family, originating from a global Northern state, and which consequently designates this worker as the sole recipient of distributive justice. Although the tone of each article varies, the contributions are all characterized by a relatively sober analysis of the counter-hegemonic potential of transnational labour law.<\/p>\n\n

Gender and informality at work<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

This special issue examines the interaction of gender with informal work, processes of informalisation and experiences of informality as a defining feature of work under contemporary capitalism. The articles interrogate the interactions between the experiential, discursive and structural dimensions of informality as they emerge in relation to the social construction of gender relations. These analyses present a comprehensive survey of the \u2018continuum of practices\u2019 which constitute informality, and draws attention to the urgency of understanding the ways in which codified and social practices normalise, formalise and conceal the gendered dimensions of informality at work.<\/p>\n\n

Special Section: Regulatory Innovation on Decent Work for Domestic Workers in the Light of International Labour Organization Convention No. 189<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The special issue contains two articles prepared for the third biennial Labour Law Research Network Conference, in Toronto in 2017, that examine national regulation on domestic work in the light of the ILO\u2019s landmark Decent Work for Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (Convention No. 189) and its accompanying Recommendation No. 201. (53(1) Int\u2019l Legal Materials 250\u2013266 (2014).) It includes a third contribution, prepared under an International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Small Grant for Research Innovation. The special issue discusses examples of regulatory innovation on decent work for domestic workers from Europe (Germany), Latin America (Argentina, Chile and Paraguay) and Africa (South Africa).<\/p>\n\n

Collective action: Engaging ideas, interests and institutions<\/span><\/p>\n\n

This special issue analyses innovation in collective action, exploring workers\u2019 global attempts to build and mobilize power resources in the context of deep challenges to organized labour\u2019s old strategies. This is both an empirically pressing subject in terms of worker welfare and also an urgent matter for theorizing the political dynamics of evolving employment relations in globalized production and accumulation (Coe and Yeung, 2015; Ferguson, 2009; Fichter, 2015b; Lakhani et al., 2013; Piketty, 2014). It is crucial for scholars to better understand labour\u2019s contemporary adaptation by exploring different kinds of innovation as well as the causal processes that have produced them. For scholars to make headway in theorizing workers\u2019 agency and delineating organized labour\u2019s changing influence on the world\u2019s increasingly complex governance of work, they need to work toward a more detailed appreciation of experimentations and empirical developments and nurture a more precise conceptual language for the drivers, processes and outcomes of the ongoing reorientation in collective action.<\/p>\n\n

New Frontiers of the Employment Relationship<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The transformation of the employment relationship causes\u2014and form part of\u2014a whole series of interferences that pose particular challenges for theoretical formalization, for the understanding of concrete situations of work, and for the legal and social measures that aim to ensure the social protection and representation of workers and to examine conditions for the deployment of collective action. Interferences and the blurring of boundaries include: between a salaried and self-employed worker, between paid work conducted in the public sphere and work that is carried out for free in the visible private sphere and between formal and informal work.<\/p>\n\n

This special issue of Relations Industrielles \/ Industrial Relations explores these “new” frontiers of the employment relationship. In response to criticism of research trends that focus too narrowly on so-called atypical jobs, which mask the fact that labour transformations \u2018destabilize stables\u2019 (Castel, 2009) or extend precariousness and risk to typical jobs (Vosko, 2007), this issue is interested in the characteristics associated with diversity in the employment relationship or, in other words, the effects stemming from the cohabitation of workers having different statuses and\/or employers or parties giving the order in concrete work situations.<\/p>\n\n
