Focusing or Fragmenting Representation at Work?
Specialist Trade Union Representation in the United Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Edited by Andy Hodder<\/strong> (University of Birmingham) et Miguel Mart\u00ednez Lucio<\/strong> (University of Manchester)<\/p>\n\n

Emerald Publishing<\/strong>, 196 p.<\/p>\n\n

Focusing or Fragmenting Representation at Work?<\/em>\u00a0reflects on how existing forms of workplace representation have changed in recent years and how new forms have developed. There is increasing interest in \u2018fine-tuning\u2019 representation, and in reflecting the complexity and nuances of specific groups of workers and themes at work such as equality, ecology, learning, and others. However, this study examines the extent of these developments and what they represent as innovative trade union roles. Chapters examine a wide range of highly prescient workplace issues, including: The changing role of the health and safety representative; equality representatives and new forms of trade union voice; learning, training and union representation; young and older workers in trade union revitalization; \u2018Green reps\u2019 and the matter of ecological questions and politics.

Focusing or Fragmenting Representation at Work?<\/em>\u00a0ends by reviewing the challenges and debates on new forms of trade union representation and raises proactive and thought provoking questions for academic researchers examining trade unions, industrial relations and the sociology of work, as well as current trade unionists and trade union representatives.

Featuring a balance of texts on the changing nature of and the history of trade union change and transformation, the series\u00a0Trade Unionism<\/em>\u00a0gives space for in-depth, detailed analysis and captures key themes on the nature of internationalism and trade unionism.<\/p>\n\n\n

Critical Legal Perspectives on Contemporary Slavery. On the Presence of the Past <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Edited by Adelle Blackett (Universit\u00e9 McGill), Laura Dehaibi (Universit\u00e9 Laval), Adedayo Odusanya (independent scholar and founder of the Black Canadian Law Journal) & Edward Van Daalen (Universit\u00e9 McGill)<\/p>\n\n

Brill<\/strong> (ISBN : 978.90.04.72381.8)<\/p>\n\n

This edited volume examines contemporary forms of slavery and the law through an historical and comparative lens. The volume consists of a general report and 15 national reports from a wide cross-section of jurisdictions that include Canada, Peru, the Netherlands, Barbados and Ghana. Each chapter provides in-depth engagement with slavery as a global institution in dialogue with slavery in its contemporary forms, including their causes and consequences. The book explores slavery and the Atlantic slave trade, its historical legacies in the persistence of racial capitalism, and points of continuity and disjuncture with contemporary attempts to redress severe labour exploitation in global supply and global care chains.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Elgar Companion to Regulating Platform Work. Insights from the Food Delivery Sector<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Edited by Kurt Vandaele<\/strong> and Silvia Rainone<\/strong> (European Trade Union Institute – ETUI)<\/p>\n\n

Edward Elgar Publishing<\/strong>, 314 p.<\/p>\n\n

Multidisciplinary in scope, The Elgar Companion to Regulating Platform Work<\/em> comprehensively analyses the dynamics and trends of the app-based food delivery sector in the platform economy. Adopting a comparative approach, it examines the regulatory developments in the field at EU level and beyond.

Bringing together a diverse array of leading experts, this Companion goes beyond exploring pure labour issues, delving into the societal dynamics at play in the sector. The various actors in app-based food delivery are identified and key themes such as the mobilisation of food delivery couriers, their issues and grievances, and their working conditions are discussed. Regulatory reforms including the Platform Work Directive 2024 and the outcomes of courier mobilisation are explored in addition to alternatives to corporate platforms.

The Elgar Companion to Regulating Platform Work<\/em> is a fundamental resource for academics and students of sociology and social policy, labour policy and economics and employment relations law. Practitioners, policymakers, trade unionists and labour advocates will also find the book\u2019s practical implications to be of great benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Politics of Unpaid Labour. How the study of unpaid labour can help address inequality in precarious work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Valeria Pulignano<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(KU Leuven) and\u00a0Markieta Domecka<\/strong><\/strong> (University of Roehampton)<\/p>\n\n

Oxford University Press<\/strong>, 320 p. (ISBN : 978.0.19888.813.0)<\/p>\n\n

The Politics of Unpaid Labour<\/em>\u00a0introduces the theory of the politics of unpaid labour to advance understanding of inequality within the context of precarious work. It understands unpaid labour as the time and effort people invest to undertake tasks which relate to the work implicitly or explicitly assigned to them, but for which they are not paid. The book establishes a crucial link between unpaid labour’s political dimensions and its role in fuelling emerging forms of precarious work characterized by persistent inequalities in a context of labour market reforms, societal shifts, and technological changes, and it reveals how these seemingly disparate elements intertwine, connecting the intricate dynamics of the social system’s micro-level components to larger macro-level structural patterns.\u00a0

Comparing working conditions in creative dance, residential care, and online freelancing in the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, and Poland, the book’s empirical section is based on a wide range of biographical interviews and work diaries. In addition to introducing the major themes, theories, and thinkers of inequality and precarious work within the tradition of work, employment, and economic studies in sociology and the political economy, the theoretical section advances the current discussion on how unpaid labour contributes to inequality in precarious work in three ways. First, it establishes the characteristics differentiating employment from self-employment, and how these lead to a revised definition of unpaid labour. Second, it illustrates that unpaid labour is both shaped by class and serves to reproduce class interests, revealing ongoing changes in welfare, employment, and state institutional policies. Third, it considers the necessity to establish conditions within the labour market conducive to genuinely cultivating and honouring the diversity of human capabilities and actions within labour structures and promoting their manifestation.

Constructing Modern Slavery. Law, Capitalism, and Unfree Labour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Judy Fudge<\/strong> (McMaster University)<\/p>\n\n

ETUI<\/strong>, 272 p. (ISBN : 978.1.10856.205.8)<\/p>\n\n

Modern slavery laws are a response to global capitalism, which undermines the distinction between free and unfree labour and poses intense challenges to state sovereignty. Instead of being a solution, Constructing Modern Slavery argues that modern slavery laws divert attention from the underlying structures and processes that generate exploitation. Focusing on unfree labour associated with international immigration and global supply chains, it provides a novel socio-legal genealogy of the concept ‘modern slavery’ through a series of linked case studies of influential actors associated with key legal instruments: the United Nations, the United States, the International Labour Organization, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Walk Free Foundation. Constructing Modern Slavery demonstrates that despite the best efforts of academics, advocates, and policymakers to develop a truly multifaceted approach to modern slavery, it is difficult to uncouple antislavery initiatives from the conservative moral and economic agendas with which they are aligned.

Experimenting for Union Renewal: Challenges, Illustrations and Lessons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Edited by M\u00e9lanie Laroche<\/strong> (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al), and Gregor Murray<\/strong> (Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al)<\/p>\n\n

ETUI<\/strong>, 246 p. (ISBN : 978.2.87452.717.3)<\/p>\n\n

Trade unions across the globe face a range of disruptions that are destabilising traditional structures, practices and strategies. This book sets out a novel approach centred on experimentation in response to these disruptions. Drawing on in-depth analysis of cases of union innovation in a broad selection of countries and industries, a stellar cast of researchers report on and draw lessons from these renewal initiatives. Aggregating these experiments enables us to identify a number of rich, cross-disciplinary findings to support such initiatives.

Initial chapters set out the approach and provide an overview of the eighteen case studies. Subsequent sections group the cases thematically: contending with neoliberalism, the fissured gig economy, value chain initiatives between South and North, an expanding trade union agenda, pursuing innovations in union repertoires and methods, and developing new forms of inclusion and solidarity. The case studies cover a wide geographical spread, from emerging economies in Africa, Asia and Latin America, to cases in Europe, North America and Australia. To ensure accessibility for both trade unionists and researchers, and to facilitate cross-case comparisons, the case studies use a common template.

The final chapter draws out practical lessons in relation to the strategic capabilities required to engage in experimentation, the diversification and enlargement of union strategic repertoires, and the conditions of success for such experimentation. These cases of experimentation indicate that the fundamentals of union purpose and the promotion of better work remain as important as ever, but they are under challenge. The lens of experimentation offers a practical approach, exploring multiple dimensions of worker and union creativity and resilience with a view to stimulating, monitoring and further developing the processes of renewal under way.

Not All Fun and Games. Videogame Labour, Project-based Workplaces, and the New Citizenship at Work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Marie-Jos\u00e9e Legault<\/strong> (Universit\u00e9 T\u00c9LUQ), and Johanna Weststar<\/strong> (Western University)<\/p>\n\n

Concordia University Press<\/strong>, 408 p. (ISBN : 978.1.98811.149.0)<\/p>\n\n

Motivated by the goal of understanding the labour conditions of workers in the videogame industry and their participatory power to create decent work,\u00a0Not All Fun and Games<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is a critical examination of a global entertainment juggernaut with revenues that top film, television, and music production combined. Jobs in the industry are heralded as the vanguard of the new economy, governments offer lucrative tax credits to lure game studios to their regions, and game developers often express commitment and passion for their work. Yet, the industry is also known for its toxic workplaces.

To understand these disparities and gain insight into twenty-first-century labour conditions,\u00a0Marie-Jos\u00e9e Legault<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Johanna Weststar<\/strong>\u00a0have carried out a comprehensive mixed-methods study of the North American industry over the past fifteen years. They combine detailed survey data from thousands of game developers with over one hundred qualitative interviews to systematically reveal labour issues such as precarity, lack of workforce diversity, unpredictable schedules, unpaid overtime, low unionization rates, worker burnout, and significant pay inequality.\u00a0

Updating the theoretical concept of citizenship at work, the authors connect these labour issues to a fundamental lack of voice and representation in the workplace. They determine that videogame workers and others in contemporary project-based work environments lack agency in regulating their work and lack fundamental protections.\u00a0Not All Fun and Games<\/em>\u00a0comprehensively documents conditions in the North American industry and highlights ways to counter workers\u2019 lack of voice and representation in their workplaces to better create healthy, equitable, and inclusive workplaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Property, Power and Human Rights. Lived Universalism In and Through the Margins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Edward Elgar Publishing<\/strong>, 282 p. (ISBN : 978.1.03531.390.7)<\/p>\n\n

Through deconstructing the right to property, this incisive book critically assesses the claim that international human rights law is universal. Laura Dehaibi presents an innovative bottom-up and dialogical approach to human rights, lived universalism, that draws on lived experience in the margins to give rights a subversive and emancipatory meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n

How democracy can be extended to the workplace.<\/strong> Although contemporary Western societies refer to themselves as \u201cdemocratic,\u201d the bulk of the population spend much of their lives in workplaces that have more in common with tyranny. Gigantic corporations such as Amazon, Meta, Exxon, and Walmart are among the richest and most powerful institutions in the world yet accountable to no one but their shareholders. The undemocratic nature of conventional firms generates profound problems across society, hurting more than just the workplace and contributing to environmental destruction and spiraling inequality.

Against this backdrop, Isabelle Ferreras proposes a radical but realistic plan to democratize the private firm. She suggests that all large firms should be bicamerally governed, with a chamber of worker representatives sharing equal governance power with the standard board representing owners. In response to this proposal, twelve leading experts on corporate behavior from multiple disciplines consider its attractiveness, viability, and achievability as a \u201creal utopian\u201d proposal to strengthen democracy in our time.<\/p>\n\n\n

[Graphic novel in French<\/strong>] Vous travaillez pour quelqu\u2019un ? Quelqu\u2019un travaille pour vous ? Comment \u00e7a se passe au travail ? Dans la vie de tous les jours, nous sommes cens\u00e9s librement tout prendre en main : nos carri\u00e8res, nos relations, notre alimentation, nos \u00e9tats d\u2019\u00e2me et tant d\u2019autres choses. Dans nos d\u00e9mocraties, menac\u00e9es, nous avons cependant les moyens de peser sur nos destins, tant individuels que collectifs. Nous d\u00e9posons des bulletins de vote dans les urnes, sollicitons nos mairies et nos \u00e9coles pour faire bouger les choses, signons des p\u00e9titions ou organisons des manifestations pour faire changer la loi, menons campagne pour nos \u00e9lues et \u00e9lus pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9s. Bref, nous pr\u00e9tendons avoir quelque chose \u00e0 dire sur le cadre de notre existence.

Pourtant, c\u2019est une toute autre exp\u00e9rience dans le monde de l\u2019entreprise. Les entreprises nous promettent du changement, de l\u2019am\u00e9lioration, du progr\u00e8s\u2026 mais qui y d\u00e9tient le pouvoir de d\u00e9cider ? Que l\u2019on travaille pour elles ou qu\u2019elles travaillent pour nous, les entreprises \u2013 et plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment leurs dirigeants et leurs actionnaires \u2013 prennent des d\u00e9cisions qui nous touchent \u00e0 chaque moment de notre vie\u2026 sans nous demander notre avis. Leur pouvoir est immense alors que notre statut de citoyen s\u2019arr\u00eate aux portes de l\u2019entreprise. Est-ce que cela nous convient vraiment ? Il est clair que non. Alors que faire ?

L\u2019enjeu de ce livre est que la d\u00e9mocratie s\u2019exerce bel et bien dans les entreprises. Cette BD id\u00e9aliste et remarquablement inform\u00e9e prend appui sur les r\u00e9flexions collectives d\u2019un groupe de chercheuses et de chercheurs issus des meilleures universit\u00e9s mondiales, ce qui lui conf\u00e8re toute sa solidit\u00e9 intellectuelle. \u00c9tudiant, militant, citoyen, entrepreneur, actionnaire ou manager \u2013 ou tout simplement lecteur ou lectrice int\u00e9ress\u00e9e par le monde de l\u2019entreprise \u2013, ce livre est pour vous !<\/p>\n\n\n

Les droits et libert\u00e9s du salari\u00e9 \u00e0 travers le prisme de la relation d’emploi<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

S\u00e9bastien Parent<\/strong> (Universit\u00e9 Laval)<\/p>\n\n

[Book in French<\/strong>] Le statut pr\u00e9\u00e9minent de la Charte qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise devait permettre au salari\u00e9 de faire pleinement usage de ses droits fondamentaux en milieu de travail. En raison de leur formulation en termes g\u00e9n\u00e9raux et abstraits, l\u2019application concr\u00e8te des droits de la personne dans la relation d\u2019emploi n\u00e9cessite toutefois l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation du juge.

Cet ouvrage propose ainsi d\u2019analyser l\u2019effet r\u00e9ducteur consid\u00e9rable du droit commun r\u00e9gissant le contrat de travail, des lois de l\u2019emploi, des clauses du contrat individuel ou collectif de travail, des r\u00e8glements d\u2019entreprise et des droits de direction sur la port\u00e9e des droits et libert\u00e9s en cause. Un tel renversement de la hi\u00e9rarchie des normes entra\u00eene in\u00e9vitablement des cons\u00e9quences importantes sur la coh\u00e9rence du syst\u00e8me juridique et pour la protection des salari\u00e9s. Une d\u00e9marche et des pistes de solution sont finalement propos\u00e9es afin de favoriser l\u2019\u00e9panouissement des droits de la personne au travail et la r\u00e9conciliation des statuts de salari\u00e9 et de personne humaine.

Trade Unions in the European Union. Picking up the pieces of the neoliberal challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Jeremy Waddington<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(Ed.),\u00a0Torsten M\u00fcller<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(Ed.) &\u00a0Kurt Vandaele<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>(Ed.)<\/p>\n\n

Peter Lang<\/strong>, Work and Society, Volume 86, 1184 p. (ISBN : 978.2.8757.4635.1)<\/p>\n\n

How do Trade unions have repeatedly been challenged by neoliberal programmes implemented within Member States of the European Union (EU) and at the European level.

The twentyseven country chapters at the core of this book chart the features of the neoliberal challenge in the EU Member States and the measures implemented by unions in their attempts to adapt to changed circumstances since 2000. It is clear that union activity, either independently or in conjunction with allies, will be at the centre of revitalization campaigns if the pieces left from the neoliberal challenges are to be picked up and wielded into a coherent response.

This book offers a comprehensive comparative overview of the development, structure, and policies of national trade union movements in the EU. It presents an in-depth analysis of the challenges facing these organizations and their strategic and policy responses from 2000 to 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n

Clean Air and Good Jobs: U.S. Labor and the Struggle for Climate Justice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Todd Vachon <\/strong><\/strong>(Rutgers University)<\/p>\n\n

Temple University Press<\/strong>, 296 p. (ISBN : 978.1.4399.2322.1)<\/p>\n\n

The labor\u2013climate movement in the U.S. laid the groundwork for the Green New Deal by building a base within labor for supporting climate protection as a vehicle for good jobs. But as we confront the climate crisis and seek environmental justice, a \u201cjobs vs. environment\u201d discourse often pits workers against climate activists. How can we make a \u201cjust transition\u201d moving away from fossil fuels, while also compensating for the human cost when jobs are lost or displaced?

In his timely book,\u00a0Clean Air and Good Jobs,\u00a0<\/em>Todd Vachon examines the labor\u2013climate movement and demonstrates what can be envisioned and accomplished when climate justice is on labor\u2019s agenda and unions work together with other social movements to formulate bold solutions to the climate crisis. Vachon profiles the workers and union leaders who have been waging a slow, but steadily growing revolution within their unions to make labor as a whole an active and progressive champion for both workers and the environment.

Clean Air and Good Jobs<\/em>\u00a0examines the \u201cmovement within the movement\u201d offering useful solutions to the dual crises of climate and inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n

Marketization. How Capitalist Exchange Disciplines Workers and Subverts Democracy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Ian Greer<\/strong>\u00a0(ILR School, Cornell University) &\u00a0Charles Umney<\/strong>\u00a0(Leeds University)<\/p>\n\n

Bloomsbury Publishing<\/strong>, 192 p. (ISBN : 978.1.9134.4146.3)<\/p>\n\n

How do markets function? Who creates, shapes and organizes them? And what do they mean for the relationship between labor and capital?

Marketization<\/em>\u00a0examines how the state and capital use markets to discipline the working class. Ian Greer and Charles Umney provide a comprehensive overview of the European political economy, from the European Commission to the workplace, to show how neoliberal principles translate into market mechanisms and reshape the lives of workers.

Drawing on dozens of conversations with policymakers, administrators, businesses, workers, and trade unionists across many European countries, Greer and Umney unpack marketization. They go beyond liberal theories that see markets as natural forms of economic organization and broad-brush left critiques of neoliberalism, looking behind the scenes in the current European political economy to examine the practicalities of how markets are created and manipulated by employers, policymakers and bureaucrats in pursuit of greater profitability. Far from leading to greater freedom, these processes often override the rights of individuals, degrade the status and security of workers, and undermine democratic accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n

[Book in French<\/strong>] En sciences sociales et humaines, le recours \u00e0 la recherche empirique et la recherche de terrain, que celles-ci soient de nature qualitative ou quantitative, va de soi. En science juridique, ces m\u00e9thodes de recherche demeurent peu utilis\u00e9es et leurs pratiques, peu document\u00e9e. Pourtant, pour rendre compte de l’articulation entre le droit et les activit\u00e9s sociales, la diversification des m\u00e9thodes de recherche est un alli\u00e9 pr\u00e9cieux, voire indispensable.

Or, les juristes souhaitant explorer de telles pratiques de recherche sont susceptible de fare face \u00e0 plusieurs interrogations pratiques: Comment parvenir \u00e0 \u00e9laborer une probl\u00e9matique de recherche dont le point de d\u00e9part n’est pas n\u00e9cessairement la norme juridique et son application par les autorit\u00e9s charg\u00e9es de sa mise en \u0153uvre? Comment recourir \u00e0 certaines sources formelles du droit, comme la jurisprudence, autrement que dans une perspective ex\u00e9g\u00e9tique? Pourquoi et dans quelles circonstances convient-il de recourir \u00e0 une m\u00e9thodologie qualitative ou quantitative ? \u00c0 quelles fins et avec quels partenaires fait-on de le recherche empirique?

L’objectif de cet ouvrage est de rendre des d\u00e9fis, limites et potentialit\u00e9s de ces pratiques dans le champ juridique.<\/p>\n\n\n

Exit, Voice, and Solidarity. Contesting Precarity in the US and European Telecommunications Industries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Virginia Doellgast <\/strong>(Cornell University)<\/p>\n\n

Oxford University Press<\/strong>, 304 p. (ISBN : 978.0.1976.5978.6)<\/p>\n\n

Downsizing, outsourcing, and intensifying performance management have become common features of corporate restructuring. They have also helped to drive up job insecurity and inequality. Under what conditions do companies take alternative approaches to restructuring that balance market demands for profits with social demands for high quality jobs? In\u00a0Exit, Voice, and Solidarity<\/em>, Doellgast compares strategies to reorganize service jobs in the US and European telecommunications industry.\u00a0

Market liberalization and shareholder pressure pushed employers to adopt often draconian cost cutting measures, while labor unions pushed back with creative collective bargaining and organizing campaigns. Their success depended on the intersection of three factors: constraints on employer exit, support for collective worker voice, and strategies of inclusive labor solidarity. Together, these proved to be crucial sources of worker power in fights to keep high quality jobs within core employers, while extending decent pay and conditions across increasingly complex networks of subsidiaries, subcontractors, temporary agencies. Based on the findings of ten case studies of incumbent telecom companies in Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Germany, France, Italy, UK, US, Czech Republic, and Poland, this book provides an original framework in restructuring strategies and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Trade Unions and Regions. Better Work, Experimentation, and Regional Governance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Christian L\u00e9vesque <\/strong>(HEC Montr\u00e9al), Peter Fairbrother <\/strong>(University of Tasmania), Blandine Emilien <\/strong>(UQAM), Mar\u00eda C. Gonz\u00e1lez <\/strong>(University of Oviedo), Lucie Morissette<\/strong> (FTQ\/HEC Montr\u00e9al) (Eds.)<\/p>\n\n

Routledge<\/strong>, 226 p. (ISBN : 978.0.3673.7012.1)<\/p>\n\n

Trade Unions and Regions: Better Work, Experimentation, and Regional Governance<\/em>\u00a0is about the place of workers and their unions in the modern world. It addresses current challenges for unions working in regions and the experiments that may take place at this level of governance.

The book addresses pressing questions concerned with the conditions for better work and a humane society. The focus is on the capacities of unions to address questions relating to regional governance, in both supranational and sub-national regions. It examines workers and their unions in a variety of contexts: multinationals, industries, workplaces, and communities. The authors address the experiments that can be initiated by unions, governments, or employers and the ways in which collective organisations engage to address these matters in regional contexts. The analysis takes as a starting point the fracturing and divisions evident in various regions, in Australia, Canada, Mexico, Spain, the United Kingdom, and USA. The contributors propose novel analyses with lessons for unions. It should be of interest to union activists and leaders, political parties, governments, and those who make decisions in and about regions.

Researchers and students of labour markets, political mobilisation, and employment relations will take the analyses further.<\/p>\n\n\n

Canadian Labour Policy and Politics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

John Peters <\/strong>(CRIMT-UdeM \/ BlueGreen Ideas \/ Carleton University), Don Wells<\/strong> (McMaster University)<\/p>\n\n

UBC Press<\/strong>, 216 p. (ISBN : 978.0.7748.6605.7)<\/p>\n\n

Low-wage work and precarious employment are among the most urgent issues of our time. Canadian Labour Policy and Politics<\/em> serves as essential reading for undergraduates who need to understand the politics of inequality in Canada\u2019s labour market. This comprehensive textbook traces the rise of these pressing problems, reveals the resulting inequalities, and outlines the solutions for a sustainable future.

Written by leading experts and practitioners, the text demonstrates how and why laws and public policy \u2013 intended to protect workers \u2013 often leave workers vulnerable with little economic or social security. Based on up-to-date data and international comparisons, chapters provide readers with real-world examples and case studies of how globalization, labour laws, employment standards, COVID-19, and other challenges affect workers on and off the job.

Canadian Labour Policy and Politics<\/em> also engages students in defining a far-reaching policy agenda for developing greater economic equality, political inclusiveness, and a green recovery in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Accessible and clearly written, it is a must-read for students as well as researchers, practitioners, activists, and policymakers. Key features include chapter summaries and outlines, suggestions for further reading, and glossaries.

Students and scholars of Canadian politics and public policy, labour studies, political economy, and sociology will find this an invaluable addition to their bookshelves. The volume is a core text for second-, third-, and fourth-year level university labour and inequality courses. The fresh and insightful overview of Canada\u2019s labour market and policies will also be essential reading for government policymakers, NGO representatives, union researchers and practitioners, and journalists. <\/p>\n\n\n

Management Divided: Contradictions of Labor Management<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Matt Vidal <\/strong>(Loughborough University London)<\/p>\n\n

Oxford University Press<\/strong>, 352 p. (ISBN : 978.0.19879.527.8)<\/p>\n\n

This richly evidenced study of American manufacturing documents how one of the central dynamics shaping organizations today is a contradiction managers face between ensuring workforce discipline and harnessing worker creativity. This contradiction has been intensifying over the last four decades as employee involvement has become increasingly important in response to rapid technical change, requirements for flexibility, and demands for continuous improvement. Global best practice in manufacturing includes lean production with substantive worker empowerment: cross training in enlarged tasks and inclusion in problem solving and decision making. Yet, facing conflicting pressures, many managers satisfice by training workers in narrow tasks and using them exclusively for manual labor. Vidal presents a synthetic theory called organizational political economy, integrating concepts from organization theory\u2014institutional logics, organizational fields, managerial satisficing, and operational routines\u2014into a classical marxist framework. Rather than theorizing managers as preoccupied with controlling labor to maximize exploitation, the theory emphasizes how contradictory developments\u2014conflicting pressures and competing logics of labor management\u2014lead management to be divided. Some managers adopt best practice by substantively empowering their workforce while others settle for good enough. Capitalist management is increasingly a source of organizational inefficiency. The argument is not limited to manufacturing or to lean production. Managers experience contradictory pressures\u2014for standardization versus discretion, deskilling versus upskilling, and routine manual versus abstract cognitive labor\u2014in a wide range of occupations, including social services, education, healthcare, office and administrative support, and software development.<\/p>\n\n\n

Jobs with Inequality: Financialization, Post-Democracy, and Labour Market Deregulation in Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

John Peters <\/strong>(CRIMT-UdeM \/ BlueGreen Ideas \/ Carleton University)<\/p>\n\n

Toronto University Press<\/strong>, 480 p. (ISBN : 978.1.4426.4619.3)<\/p>\n\n

Income inequality has skyrocketed in Canada over the past decades. The rich have become richer, while the average household income has deteriorated and job quality, plummeted. Common explanations for these trends point to globalization, technology, or other forces largely beyond our control. But as Jobs with Inequality<\/em> shows, there is nothing inevitable about inequality.

Rather, runaway inequality is the result of politics and policies, and what governments have done to aid the rich and boost finance, and what has not done to uphold the interests of workers.

Drawing on new tax and income data, John Peters tells the story of how inequality is unfolding in Canada today by examining post-democracy, financialization, and labour market deregulation. Timely and novel, the book explains how and why business and government have rewritten the rules of the economy to the advantage of the few, and considers why progressive efforts to reverse these trends have so regularly run aground. <\/p>\n\n\n

Contemporary Employers\u2019 Organizations. Adaptation and Resilience<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

John Peters <\/strong>(CRIMT-UdeM \/ BlueGreen Ideas \/ Carleton University)<\/p>\n\n

Routledge<\/strong>, 296 p. (ISBN : 978.1.0031.0457.5)<\/p>\n\n

This book argues that employers\u2019 organizations are resilient organizations that adapt to changing circumstances by developing new practices. Adaptation has been prompted by changing economic and social contexts, including state interventions and union activities. Contexts vary over time, across countries and world regions. The purpose of the book is to explore these variations and their impacts on employer organization.

The book covers the following themes across four book sections: theoretical perspectives on employer collective action; employers\u2019 organizations in different types of capitalism; different types of employers\u2019 organizations; and international and comparative employer interest representation. Theoretical explorations examining employer power, political preferences, meta-organizing, and ideological foundations are complemented by studies of employers\u2019 organization in China, Denmark, Australia, Germany, Turkey, Canada, and the UK. Different types such as regional and international employers\u2019 organizations are also examined. The book is one of the few edited volumes to examine employer collective action within work and employment, and is the first since 1984 to consider western and non-western contexts.

The book will be of interest to employment relations and sociology of work researchers, scholars, advanced students, and practitioners as it brings new perspectives to an understudied actor in employment relations: employers\u2019 organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n

Democratize Work. The Case for Reorganizing the Economy<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

An urgent and deeply resonant case for the power of workplace democracy to restore balance between economy and society.<\/strong>

What happens to a society\u2014and a planet\u2014when capitalism outgrows democracy? The tensions between democracy and capitalism are longstanding, and they have been laid bare by the social effects of COVID-19. The narrative of \u201cessential workers\u201d has provided thin cover for the fact that society\u2019s lowest paid and least empowered continue to work risky jobs that keep our capitalism humming. Democracy has been subjugated by the demands of capitalism. For many, work has become unfair.

In Democratize Work<\/em>, essays from a dozen social scientists\u2014all women\u2014articulate the perils and frustrations of our collective moment, while also framing the current crisis as an opportunity for renewal and transformation. Amid mounting inequalities tied to race, gender, and class\u2014and with huge implications for the ecological fate of the planet\u2014the authors detail how adjustments in how we organize work can lead to sweeping reconciliation. By treating workers as citizens, treating work as something other than an asset, and treating the planet as something to be cared for, a better way is attainable. Building on cross-disciplinary research, Democratize Work <\/em>is both a rallying cry and an architecture for a sustainable economy that fits the democratic project of our societies.

Edward Elgar Publishing<\/strong>, 384 p. (ISBN : 978.1.78897.509.4)<\/p>\n\n

Providing an insightful analysis of the key issues and significant trends relating to labour within the platform economy, this Modern Guide considers the existing comparative evidence covering all world regions. It also provides an in-depth look at digital labour platforms in their historical, economic and geographical contexts.

Highlighting the diversity of experience of platform work, case studies illustrate how general trends play out, both in online and location-based labour platforms, across the globe. Chapters illustrate a need for a post-pandemic regulatory requirement of digital labour platforms at different policy levels, whilst providing a general overview of key topics. Interlinking contributions with a global scope and coverage identify the challenges faced and offer thoughtful regulatory solutions.

This engaging book will be an invaluable resource for academics of labour economics, legal and business studies and sociology. It will also benefit policy makers in social and political geography and political science looking for a deeper understanding of the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n

Revaluing Work(ers): Toward a Democratic and Sustainable Future<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Tobias Schulze-Cleven <\/strong>(Rutgers University), Todd E. Vachon<\/strong> (Rutgers University) (Eds.<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n

Cornell University Press<\/strong>, 336 p. (ISBN : 978.0.9134.4722.2)<\/p>\n\n

How can we build a future of work that meets pressing challenges and delivers for workers? Contemporary societies are beset by interrelated ecological, political, and economic crises, from climate change to democratic erosion and economic instability. Uncertainty abounds about the sustainability of democratic capitalism. Yet mainstream debates on the evolution of work tend to remain narrowly circumscribed, exhibiting both technological and market determinism.

This volume presents a labor studies perspective on the future of work, arguing that revaluing work\u2014the efforts and contributions of workers\u2014is crucial to realizing the promises of democracy and improving sustainability. It emphasizes that collective political action, and the collective agency of workers in particular, is central to driving this agenda forward. Moreover, it maintains that reproductive work\u2014labor efforts from care to education that sustain the reproduction of society\u2014can function as a crucible of innovation for the valuation and governance of work more broadly.

Aux bons soins du capitalisme. Le coaching en entreprise <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

[Book in French<\/strong>] Cette enqu\u00eate au long cours sur le coaching, qui croise les t\u00e9moignages de coachs, de DRH et de cadres, s’interroge sur le \u00ab nouvel esprit \u00bb d’un capitalisme qui tend \u00e0 \u00e9riger l\u2019individu, et m\u00eame la personne, en projet. Au risque de d\u00e9charger les entreprises de leurs responsabilit\u00e9s organisationnelles.

Des salari\u00e9s heureux sont des salari\u00e9s efficaces. Sur ce credo, toute une panoplie de discours et de pratiques se sont introduits dans les entreprises depuis une vingtaine d’ann\u00e9es : conseils de psys aux managers et aux dirigeants, formations au \u00ab management bienveillant \u00bb, apparition de Chief happiness officers<\/em>, s\u00e9ances de m\u00e9ditation pour conjurer le stress au travail, etc.

Au coeur de cette \u00e9volution, une nouvelle activit\u00e9 suscite les vocations : le coaching. Ses interventions, orchestr\u00e9es par des services RH convertis aux id\u00e9es de d\u00e9veloppement personnel, restent entour\u00e9es d’un certain myst\u00e8re.

Individualising<\/span> Risk. Paid Care Work in the New Gig Economy<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n

Fiona MacDonald <\/strong>(RMIT)<\/p>\n\n

Palgrave Macmillan<\/strong>, 223 p. (ISBN : 978.981.33.6365.6)<\/p>\n\n

This book investigates how paid care work and employment are being transformed by policies of social care individualisation in the context of new gig economies of care. Drawing on a case study of the creation of a new individualised care market under Australia\u2019s National Disability Insurance Scheme the book provides important insights into possible futures for social care employment where care is treated as an individual consumer service. Bringing together sociological, political science and socio-legal approaches the book demonstrates how, in individualised care markets and with ineffective labour laws, risks of business and employment are devolved to frontline care workers. The book argues for an urgent re-evaluation of current policy approaches to care and for new regulatory approaches to protect workers in diverse forms of employment. <\/p>\n\n\n

[Book in French<\/strong>] Comment le r\u00e9gime de relations de travail facilite-t-il l\u2019implantation d\u2019un mod\u00e8le de gestion et d\u2019organisation du travail influenc\u00e9 par le courant du nouveau management public ?<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Depuis une trentaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es, les services et les secteurs publics occidentaux sont l\u2019objet de r\u00e9formes inspir\u00e9es par la nouvelle gestion publique.

A World Beyond Work?: Labour, Money and the Capitalist State Between Crisis and Utopia<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Ana Cecilia Dinerstein <\/strong><\/strong>(University of Bath), Frederick Harry Pitts <\/strong><\/strong>(University of Bristol)<\/p>\n\n

Emerald Publishing Limited<\/strong><\/strong>, 128 p. <\/p>\n\n

Sensing a world of post-work opportunity lurking in an age of crisis, today \u2018postcapitalist\u2019 utopias proliferate that see a way out of the present through an escape from work. Using critical theory to unpick the political economy of contemporary work and its futures, this book mounts a forceful critique of fashionable thinking about the possibility of achieving a postcapitalist society through the automation of production, a universal basic income and the reduction of working hours to zero. A World Beyond Work?<\/em> reveals how these transitional measures break insufficiently with key features of capitalist society: value, money, the class relation and the state. By displacing workers from the sites and relationships through which they struggle and resist as wage labour, Dinerstein and Pitts contend, these measures may even stifle the capacity for transformative social change in, against and beyond capitalism. The authors propose an alternative that navigates the contradictions of social reproduction under capitalism through the construction of \u2018concrete utopias\u2019 that shape and anticipate non-capitalist futures.<\/p>\n\n\n

Value<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Frederick Harry Pitts <\/strong>(University of Bristol)<\/p>\n\n

Polity<\/font>, 190 p. (ISBN: 978.1.509.53566.8)<\/p>\n\n

‘Value’ seems like an elusive and abstract concept. Nonetheless, notions of value underpin how we understand our lives, from discussions about the economic contribution of different kinds of work and productive activity, to the prices we pay for the things we consume. So what is value, and where does it come from?

In this new book, Frederick Harry Pitts charts the past, present and future of value within and beyond capitalist society, critically engaging with key concepts from classical and neoclassical political economy. Interrogating the processes and practices that attribute value to objects and activities, he considers debates over whether value lies within commodities or in their exchange, the politics of different theories of value, and how we measure value in a knowledge-based economy.

This accessible and intriguing introduction to the complexities of value in modern society will be essential reading for any student or scholar working in political economy, economics, economic sociology or management.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Political Economy of Work in the Global South<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Anita Hammer<\/strong> (University of Essex), Adam Fishwick <\/strong>(De Montfort University)<\/p>\n\n

Red Globe Press<\/font><\/strong>, 306 p. (ISBN: 978.1.352.00976.7)<\/p>\n\n

Part of the Critical Perspectives on Work and Employment series, this edited collection brings together contributions from leading international scholars to initiate an important dialogue between labour process analysis and scholarship on work in the Global South. This book characterises the forms of work and labour process that characterise globalising capitalism today and addresses core analytical concerns within Labour Process Theory and research on work in the South. It explores how a wide range of production relations in the Global South, ranging from formal to informal employment and self-employment, are embedded in wider social relations of gender, caste, religion and ethnicity, and are related to wider patterns of commodification and resistance. Drawing on cutting-edge research, the book\u2019s chapters consider a diverse range of working situations, covering migrant workers in the Middle East, commercial surrogacy work in India and cooperative garment workers in Argentina.

In offering a novel reading of the political economy of work in the Global South and shedding light on lesser-considered fields of work and worker organization, this volume will provide new insights for making sense of the changing world of work for students, scholars, labour activists and practitioners alike. <\/p>\n\n\n

[Book in French<\/strong>] L\u2019intelligence artificielle (IA) modifie, impr\u00e8gne, mod\u00e8le le monde. \u00c0 cette r\u00e9volution, l\u2019entreprise n\u2019\u00e9chappe pas. Elle en est m\u00eame l\u2019un des principaux lieux. Et si l\u2019IA s\u2019int\u00e8gre d\u00e9j\u00e0, de diff\u00e9rentes mani\u00e8res et \u00e0 diff\u00e9rents niveaux, dans le fonctionnement des organisations productives, elle est aussi facteur possible d\u2019une transformation radicale de la gestion des \u00abressources humaines\u00bb.L\u2019av\u00e8nement d\u2019un manager num\u00e9rique, \u00e0 corps de big data et \u00e0t\u00eate d\u2019algorithmes, suscite craintes et espoirs.

Pour certains, il annonce un monde o\u00f9 l\u2019objectivit\u00e9 triomphera enfin de la subjectivit\u00e9 humaine et des biais cognitifs qui lui sont attach\u00e9s, o\u00f9 le jeu de la rationalit\u00e9 \u00e9vacuera les passions et les pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s. D\u2019autres font proph\u00e9tie plus sombre : l\u2019IA construira un monde o\u00f9 l\u2019Homme (au travail) \u2014 d\u00e9shumanis\u00e9 \u2014 ne sera plus qu\u2019un flux de donn\u00e9es, une trace num\u00e9rique, o\u00f9 la responsabilit\u00e9 et la libert\u00e9 se dilueront dans le jeu d\u2019algorithmes ind\u00e9chiffrables.

\u00c0 ces transformations, le droit (du travail) et les juristes ne peuvent rester \u00e9trangers. Elles doivent \u00eatre pour eux objet d\u2019\u00e9tudes et d\u2019analyses.

Palgrave Macmillan<\/strong>, 284 p. (ISBN: 978.3.030.44062.6) <\/p>\n\n

Shifting Solidarities<\/em> offers a comprehensive analysis of solidarity at a time when major social transformations have penetrated the heart of European societies, disrupting markets and labour relations, transforming social practices, and affecting the moral infrastructure of European welfare states. Factors such as the economic crisis, migration, digitalisation, and climate change all contribute to a sense of emergency. This volume considers how, in times of crisis, there are calls for solidarity by various new social and political actors and movements. <\/p>\n\n

The contributions present a broad array of empirical work and critical scholarship, zooming in on shifting solidarities in various domains of social life, including work, social policy, health care, religion, family, gender and migration. This compelling volume provides a unique resource for understanding solidarity in contemporary Europe, and will be a vital text for students and scholars across sociology, social policy, cultural studies, employment\/labour markets and organisation studies, migration studies and European studies.<\/p>\n\n\n

Comment faire face \u00e0 la crise que nous traversons ? Le syst\u00e8me capitaliste n\u00e9o-lib\u00e9ral fond\u00e9 sur la seule recherche du profit ne fera que renforcer la concentration des richesses, aggraver les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s et d\u00e9truire chaque jour un peu plus notre \u00e9cosyst\u00e8me.
