Download or read book Rethinking Job Security written by Joanna Howe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the proper role of the law in protecting job security in the contemporary workplace. It provides a historical, theoretical, practical and comparative perspective on this under-researched, but fundamentally important, legal mechanism at a time when the pressure to deregulate and dilute worker-protective laws has taken on increased importance. The volume critically analyses both statute and case law from three advanced industrialised liberal democracies with a common law foundation, the UK, Australia and the USA, to understand the extent to which job security is realised. By applying a common approach and a conceptual framework that emphasises the complex relationships between law, the economy and society to analyse a series of national studies, the book is also designed to draw upon the insights of comparative analysis to deepen our understanding of the limits and possibilities of legal regulation of job security. The national case studies are supplemented by research that focuses on how supra-national organisations have sought both to develop and disseminate new legal norms around the practices and processes of dismissal. This study critically analyses and assesses the adequacy of the international regulatory framework for protecting the rights of employees in the dismissal process.

Download or read book Protecting the Workforce written by Marquita R. Walker and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases the inequalities experienced between the Global North and the Global South by exploring the production and distribution model of goods and services worldwide through an analysis of why the structure, framework, and interconnectedness of global supply chains increases the persistence of worker rights’ violations. The narrative explains the power relationships between multinational corporations, their subcontractors, governments, non-governmental organizations, labor unions, and workers. The text focuses primarily on competition between workers in the Global South and the Global North who are compelled to work in global supply chains for their survival and takes a macro-look at how global supply chains operate, how they are governed, who invests and why, and who wins and who loses. From the workers’ perspective, the text highlights the millions of low-wage workers who suffer exploitation and abuse at the hands of greedy multi-national corporations who are able to distance themselves from any liability for workers’ welfare through an institutional system created by national/state governments, trade agreements, and tax and investment strategies which protect property rights over workers’ rights. The fragile plight of workers crescendos through examples of exploitation and abuse in the fishing, mining, apparel, electronic and manufacturing industries, focusing events of workplace disasters, and slave-like working conditions, then climaxes by providing strategies to help strengthen workers through legislative and policy initiatives, collective action, and social and public pressure.

Download or read book Collective Agreements written by Susan Hayter and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collective bargaining involves a process of negotiation between one or more unions and an employer or employers' organisation(s). The outcome is a collective agreement that defines terms of employment - typically wages, working hours and in-work benefits. The agreement affords labour protection: minimum wages, regular earnings; limits on working hours and predictable work schedules; safe working environments; parental leave and sick leave; and a fair share in the benefits of increased productivity. The International Labour Organization (ILO) Collective Agreements Recommendation 1951 (No. 91) considers, where appropriate and having regard to national practice, that measures should be taken to extend the application of all or some provisions of a collective agreement to all employers and workers included wthin the domain of the agreement. The extension of a collective agreement generalises the terms and conditions of employment, agreed between organised firms and workers, represented through their association(s) and union(s), to the non-organised firms within a sector, occupation or territory. The collection of chapters in this volume are about the extension of collective agreements as an act of public policy.

Download or read book The Administrative Burdens Reduction Programme 2008 written by Great Britain. National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Administrative Burdens Reduction Programme, co-ordinated by the Better Regulation Executive (BRE), aims to reduce by a quarter by 2010 the cost to businesses of complying with the administrative burdens imposed on them by government regulations. The NAO has now examined the first full year of implementation to review progress in delivering the Programme, assess achievements of departments and highlight good practice. In 2007 departments implemented over 150 specific measures to reduce administrative burdens and the majority predicted that they will meet their reduction target by 2010. The total reported in-year savings of £800 million should be treated with caution as they are indicative estimates of the actual savings and have been subject to only limited independent validation. The Programme is providing an impetus across departments to reduce burdens and the targets have created a stronger incentive to deliver. The report finds a small positive shift in businesses' perceptions about regulation. 46 per cent of businesses thought regulation was fair and proportionate, compared to 39 per cent in 2007. 70 per cent said that completing paper work was a burden, down from 74 per cent in 2007. However, only 1 per cent of businesses believed that complying with regulation had become less time consuming in 2007 and 40 per cent said it has become more time consuming. The wider impact of the Programme remains unproven. The Better Regulation Taskforce's original aspiration was that the Programme could contribute to a £16 billion increase in GDP. But there is still limited evidence on the link between reducing administrative burdens and improving business performance.
