Book excerpt: ¿Qué es la flexibilidad en la duración del trabajo? La flexibilidad de la duración del trabajo es la posibilidad de adaptar las jornadas de trabajo a los períodos de alta y baja productividad de la empresa. [...] Son formas de la flexibilidad de la duración del trabajo: la reducción de la jornada de trabajo, la reorganización del tiempo de trabajo, el contrato a tiempo parcial y la disminución de los días de trabajo manteniéndose la misma cantidad de horas semanales. [...] Antes de referirnos a la reforma de 1995, hay que señalar que el anterior Código de Trabajo de Panamá de 1971, fue considerado en América Latina, un ejemplo de legislación que garantizaba los derechos de los trabajadores y las trabajadoras. [...] Veamos algunos ejemplos de flexibilidad laboral de los derechos individuales de los trabajadores/as de las zonas francas contenidas el Decreto-ley No 1: • Rebaja el monto de la hora extra para los trabajadores y las trabajadoras de las zonas francas en un 25 %, independientemente de si se trate de hora diurna, nocturna o mixta, como lo establece el Código de Trabajo de Panamá. [...] Comentarios finales • Las reformas de las leyes del trabajo de Panamá, son un proceso de flexibilización laboral que sustituye la concepción de un derecho laboral protector de la clase trabajadora, por un derecho laboral que se fundamenta en la libre decisión de las partes de la relación del trabajo.

Download or read book Labour Productivity and Flexibility written by Edward J. Amadeo and published by Springer. This book was released on 1997-12-13 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about two polemical issues in labour studies, namely, the notions and determinants of labour productivity and flexibility. This book attempts to develop the notion of labour input flexibility or the capacity of workers to adapt to changes in the environment and its relation with labour productivity. The role of institutions, employment practices, capital-labour relations and labour market policies in determining labour flexibility is emphasized. The chapters look at the experiences of industrialized countries (European countries, the USA, Canada and Japan) and three Latin American countries (Brazil, Chile and Mexico).
Download or read book Labor Market Reform and Job Creation written by J. Luis Guasch and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the resumption of economic growth in most Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) countries since the late 1980s, improvements on the employment/unemployment front fave been sluggish at best, with a few notable exceptions. In many countries, renewed growth in LAC in the 1990s has so far failed to generate adequate new jobs in place of those lost during the adjustment , and to restore wages to precrisis levels. After a number of years of relatively high economic growth, the employment outlook in many countries remains worrisome. In those countries where unemployment rates appear to be low, often as a result of how they are measured, the concern is the low quality and renumeration levels of available jobs.

Book excerpt: El mundo de los Recursos Humanos está plagado de generalizaciones que traen de cabeza a los responsables de esta área de negocio. Tanto es así que en más de una ocasión preguntas como si es mejor contar con gente leal a la hora de elegir un equipo o no, si la experiencia es la condición básica a la hora de incorporar a alguien a una empresa, si pedir una cláusula de blindaje es una muestra de desconfianza hacía el candidato, cómo elaborar un código de conducta o cuál es la mejor forma de medir el impacto en la formación de un empleado, resuenan en sus adentros cual dilema indescifrable. Con el fin de arrojar luz sobre dichas dudas o situaciones, los diez autores de Los mitos de Silvia (Plácido Fajardo, Ignacio Mazo, Carlos Espinosa, Aránzazu Montes, Jorge Cagigas, Eugenio de Andrés, Juan Pablo Ventosa, Amparo Díaz-Llairó, Javier Martín de la Fuente y Carlos Sánchez) han elaborado un ameno y sencillo manual que, a buen seguro, ayudará a más de un profesional a tener la respuesta adecuada en diferentes situaciones o a valorar si la decisión que se toma es la mejor.
Download or read book Language Put to Work written by Enda Brophy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER of The Gertrude J. Robinson Book Prize, awarded by the Canadian Communication Association, and the Canadian Association of Work and Labour Studies, Book of the Year Award. This book examines the striking rise of call centres over the past quarter century through the lens of the resistance and collective organizing generated by workers along the digital assembly lines. Drawing on field research in Atlantic Canada, Ireland, Italy, and New Zealand, Enda Brophy investigates the contested making of the transnational call centre workforce and its integration into the circuits of global capitalism. Moving beyond depictions of call centre labour as either entirely liberated or utterly subordinated, Language Put to Work inquires into the forms of work refusal and insubordination provoked by the spread of these communicative workplaces, including informal strategies of quitting, slacking and sabotage, conventional trade union activity, tactical innovations at the margins of the labour movement, and forms of self-organization forged by workers outside of the established trade union movement. Weaving rich empirical evidence together with political-economic analysis and theories of resistance, this book argues that the submission of language to the production of value in the call centre is a process of proletarianization rather than professionalization, and that the new working class has widely opposed this transformation.

Download or read book Continuity Despite Change written by Matthew E. Carnes and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the dust settles on nearly three decades of economic reform in Latin America, one of the most fundamental economic policy areas has changed far less than expected: labor regulation. To date, Latin America's labor laws remain both rigidly protective and remarkably diverse. Continuity Despite Change develops a new theoretical framework for understanding labor laws and their change through time, beginning by conceptualizing labor laws as comprehensive systems or "regimes." In this context, Matthew Carnes demonstrates that the reform measures introduced in the 1980s and 1990s have only marginally modified the labor laws from decades earlier. To explain this continuity, he argues that labor law development is constrained by long-term economic conditions and labor market institutions. He points specifically to two key factors—the distribution of worker skill levels and the organizational capacity of workers. Carnes presents cross-national statistical evidence from the eighteen major Latin American economies to show that the theory holds for the decades from the 1980s to the 2000s, a period in which many countries grappled with proposed changes to their labor laws. He then offers theoretically grounded narratives to explain the different labor law configurations and reform paths of Chile, Peru, and Argentina. His findings push for a rethinking of the impact of globalization on labor regulation, as economic and political institutions governing labor have proven to be more resilient than earlier studies have suggested.
Download or read book Good Jobs Wanted written by Inter-American Development Bank and published by IDB. This book was released on 2003 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation There is a widespread perception that the structural reforms implemented in Latin America in the 1990s have failed to spur employment growth. This perception is fueled by rising unemployment, slow wage growth, rising wage inequalities and a heightened sense of economic insecurity. This year's edition of Economic and Social Progress in Latin America investigates whether this disappointing outcome can be explained by an abnormal adjustment to rapid changes in goods and capital markets, increased female participation in the workplace, technological change, and secular changes in the sector composition of output. In particular, the book examines whether there are important demands for change that are being thwarted by inappropriate institutions and rigidities. The report documents unemployment and underemployment, employment creation and destruction, productivity growth, and the wage level and inequality. It includes a CD-ROM with data on labor markets in the region.
