Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This international book analyses the impact of digitisation in labour markets, on labour relationships and also on labour processes. The rapid progress of modern disruptive technologies and AIs and their multiple applications to each phase of the labour production system, are changing the production rules on a global scale with significant impacts in every aspect of work. As new technologies transform work patterns and change the type of jobs available - destroying some while creating others - and even the nature of the tasks performed, numerous legal problems arise which are challenging to legislators and legal scholars who need to find appropriate solutions to them. Considering the labour law issues which have been created by technological developments and currently affect the work of millions worldwide, this book highlights the full scope of these issues, suggesting solutions to emerging problems and ways to mitigate the risks brought about through technological advancement. Approaching the present debate with perspectives on legal problems with expertise from a wide range of different countries, this book presents informed and scholarly studies which answer the challenges that new technologies present in labour markets, private lives and labour processes.

  • Author : Alex Rosenblat
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2018-10-23
  • ISBN : 0520970632
  • Pages : 285 pages

Download or read book Uberland written by Alex Rosenblat and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon Valley technology is transforming the way we work, and Uber is leading the charge. An American startup that promised to deliver entrepreneurship for the masses through its technology, Uber instead built a new template for employment using algorithms and Internet platforms. Upending our understanding of work in the digital age, Uberland paints a future where any of us might be managed by a faceless boss. The neutral language of technology masks the powerful influence algorithms have across the New Economy. Uberland chronicles the stories of drivers in more than twenty-five cities in the United States and Canada over four years, shedding light on their working conditions and providing a window into how they feel behind the wheel. The book also explores Uber’s outsized influence around the world: the billion-dollar company is now influencing everything from debates about sexual harassment and transportation regulations to racial equality campaigns and labor rights initiatives. Based on award-winning technology ethnographer Alex Rosenblat’s firsthand experience of riding over 5,000 miles with Uber drivers, daily visits to online forums, and face-to-face discussions with senior Uber employees, Uberland goes beyond the headlines to reveal the complicated politics of popular technologies that are manipulating both workers and consumers.

Book Nuevas tecnolog  as y derecho del trabajo  Serie Investigaciones en Derecho Laboral N  29

Download or read book Nuevas tecnolog as y derecho del trabajo Serie Investigaciones en Derecho Laboral N 29 written by Varios autores and published by Universidad Externado. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Los retos que ha impuesto el uso de las nuevas tecnologías en las relaciones laborales suponen el desafío de adecuar las clásicas instituciones del derecho del trabajo a la nueva realidad que emerge como consecuencia de la irrupción tecnológica. Este desafío no se limita a la discusié6n vigente acerca de la naturaleza jurídica del trabajo que se presta a través de plataformas digitales, discusión que, por demás, resulta de una gran trascendencia en la medida en que define -o redefine— las fronteras del derecho laboral para incluir 0 excluir esta nueva modalidad de trabajo de la aplicación de las tutelas propias de esta rama del derecho. Conscientes de esta realidad surge la idea de adelantar esta investigación, que ahonda en la incidencia de las nuevas tecnologías en algunos de los aspectos que se consideraron de particular importancia en la relación laboral: el ejercicio de la subordinación, el derecho a la desconexión de los trabajadores, el derecho a la intimidad o el estrés laboral como factor presente en las organizaciones contemporáneas; esto, sin dejar de lado, por supuesto, la prestación de servicios a través de las plataformas tecnológicas. Este libro pretende contribuir con el debate, aportando la visión de los autores en los distintos temas que se trataron a lo largo de los capítulos que lo componen y teniendo como insumo importante algunas decisiones judiciales que se han pronunciado acerca de los temas objeto de investigación desde una perspectiva no solo local, sino también regional y acorde con la normatividad internacional.

Book The New New Journalism

Download or read book The New New Journalism written by Robert Boynton and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years after Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, and Gay Talese launched the New Journalism movement, Robert S. Boynton sits down with nineteen practitioners of what he calls the New New Journalism to discuss their methods, writings and careers. The New New Journalists are first and foremost brilliant reporters who immerse themselves completely in their subjects. Jon Krakauer accompanies a mountaineering expedition to Everest. Ted Conover works for nearly a year as a prison guard. Susan Orlean follows orchid fanciers to reveal an obsessive subculture few knew existed. Adrian Nicole LeBlanc spends nearly a decade reporting on a family in the South Bronx. And like their muckraking early twentieth-century precursors, they are drawn to the most pressing issues of the day: Alex Kotlowitz, Leon Dash, and William Finnegan to race and class; Ron Rosenbaum to the problem of evil; Michael Lewis to boom-and-bust economies; Richard Ben Cramer to the nitty gritty of politics. How do they do it? In these interviews, they reveal the techniques and inspirations behind their acclaimed works, from their felt-tip pens, tape recorders, long car rides, and assumed identities; to their intimate understanding of the way a truly great story unfolds. Interviews with: Gay Talese Jane Kramer Calvin Trillin Richard Ben Cramer Ted Conover Alex Kotlowitz Richard Preston William Langewiesche Eric Schlosser Leon Dash William Finnegan Jonathan Harr Jon Krakauer Adrian Nicole LeBlanc Michael Lewis Susan Orlean Ron Rosenbaum Lawrence Weschler Lawrence Wright
