Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational labour governance is in urgent need of a new paradigm of democratic participation, with those who are most affected - typically workers - placed at the centre. To achieve this, principles of industrial democracy and transnational governance must come together to inform institutions within global supply chains. This book traces the development of 'transnational industrial democracy', using responses to the 2013 Rana Plaza disaster as the empirical context. A particular focus is placed on the Bangladesh Accord and the JETI Workplace Social Dialogue programme. Drawing on longitudinal field research from 2013–2020, the authors argue that the reality of modern-day supply chain capitalism has neither optimal institutional frameworks nor effective structures of industrial relations. Informed by principles of industrial democracy, the book aims at enhancing emerging forms of private transnational governance as second-best institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories and images of collapsed factories, burned down sweatshops, imprisoned migrant workers, child workers and many other violations of internationally recognized labour rights continue to spread across the globe. This highly topical book examines the different instruments which are intended to protect labour rights on a transnational scale, and asks whether they make a difference. With perspectives from law, management, sociology, political science and political economy, the topics discussed include the protection of international labour rights in a globalizing economy, the EU’s social dimension in its external trade relations, Asian and US perspectives on labour rights in international trade agreements, the role of (trade) unions in global labour governance and the transformative capacity of private labour governance regimes. Academics and advanced students from different disciplines will benefit from the up-to-date empirical material in this study. Policymakers, NGOs and Unions will find the discussions of the instruments used to protect labour rights of great value to their work.

Download or read book Labour Law and Worker Protection in Developing Countries written by Tzehainesh Teklè and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important new study shifts the focus of scholarly and policy debates on the role of labour law in an era of globalization away from the countries and labour law systems of the North to those of the global South. Placing its analysis within the context of the current scholarly debates on the challenges and future of labour law, the book critically reviews the relevant literature and reflects upon the way in which workers' protection tends to be conceptualized, as well as on the adequacy of the legal categories and tools used to further it, with special attention given to the effectiveness of labour legislation in promoting gender equality. The book argues that, in addition to problems in the application of labour law, there is a mismatch between the realities of the developing world and the social, economic and political underpinnings of labour law. This dates back to its development in post-colonial African and South Asian countries and, to a lesser extent, in Latin American ones. The divergence persists, while new manifestations have appeared due to globalization, leaving a significant number of workers outside the scope of labour law and in need of protection. Against this background, the book explores regulatory and policy response at different governance levels to enhance the scope and application of labour regulation in Latin America, South Asia and southern Africa.

Download or read book Protecting Labour Rights in a Multi polar Supply Chain and Mobile Global Economy written by Laura Beke and published by Kluwer Law International. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owing to a marked decline in global transaction costs, firms increasingly outsource the various production lines within their production process to different parts of the world. In doing so, firms are not only able to introduce more flexibility into their production chain, but may also operate on a more cost-effective basis. As a result, both the production of goods and the provision of services have increasingly been geared towards a supply-chained global economy, in which firms and workers from different parts of the world are interconnected with one another through a multitude of supply- or value chains. At the same time, however, firms have also inadvertently contributed to an increasingly fragmented production process, with notable impacts on the working conditions of those involved in the more labour-intensive mechanics of the supply chain. Notwithstanding the existence of a significant international apparatus to foster labour rights in the global economy, enforcement gaps remain and labour rights violations continue to be endemic in many parts of the world.

Download or read book The Evolution of a Global Labour Governance Regime written by Anke Hassel and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, the approach by business and governments towards labour and social issues at the global level has fundamentally changed. Industrial relations are rapidly internationalizing by developing new actors and forms of governance to deal with the regulation of labour. This paper looks at the evolution of self-regulatory standards in the global labour governance debate. Key is that notwithstanding problems with the lacking legal framework of global regulation and enforceability, patterns of local self-regulation, norm-setting and international codes lead not only to higher expectations of the behaviour of trans-nationally operating firms but also to an indirect pattern of regulation. The paper argues that particularly the adoption of the Core Labour Standards by the ILO and the set up of the Global Compact by the UN serve as points of convergence. A plethora of voluntarist initiatives that converge over time towards a shared understanding of labour standards is part of the transformation of global labour governance institutions.

Download or read book Democracy at Work written by Ruth Dukes and published by Polity. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the countries of the global north, workplace democracy may be thought of as a thing of the past. Today, working relations are regulated primarily by contract; workforces are increasingly fissured and fragmented. What are the consequences of this? How should we respond? Ruth Dukes and Wolfgang Streeck argue that the time is ripe to restate the principles of industrial democracy and citizenship for the post-industrial era. Considering developments within political economy, employment relations and labour law since the postwar decades, they trace the rise of globalization and the “dualisation” of labour markets - the emergence of a core and periphery of workers - and the progressive insulation of working relations from democratic governance. What these developments amount to, they argue, is an urgent need for political intervention to tame the new world of “gigging” and other forms of highly precarious work. This, according to the authors, will require far-reaching institution-building, designed to fill legal concepts such as “employment” with political substance. This eloquent call for a reimagining and renewal of the institutional and material conditions of freedom of association and the reinvention of industrial democracy will be crucial reading for anyone interested in work in the 21st century.

Download or read book Labor Rights Violation in Global Supply Chains written by Nizar Shbikat and published by Rainer Hampp. This book was released on 2021-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book adopts a multi-stakeholder approach to exploring the issue of labour rights in global supply chains in three dimensions. It starts by addressing the potential causes of labour rights violations and visualising them using fishbone diagrams to show how these causes interrelate. The book proceeds by proposing a novel worker participatory approach for measuring these violations by considering workers as experiencers and observers of them. It then discusses how workers and their representatives can eradicate rights violations and advance workers' interests in a contested environment by examining three case studies from China, Bangladesh and Jordan.
Download or read book Global Labour Standards Advocacy by European Civil Society Organizations written by Luc Fransen and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, developments in intergovernmental organizations and transnational private governance organizations have created new opportunities and constraints for the promotion of global labour-standards governance by civil society organizations (CSOs). This article describes how European CSOs (including trade union organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs)) respond to these developments. It argues that European civil society is witnessing a threefold shift in priorities of labour-standards advocacy: from pushing regulatory approaches to organizational capacity building; from corporate responsibility strategies focused on compliance to strategies focused on transparency; and from fair labour standards within the sustainable development agenda to a host of other issues. The overall result is that labour-standards advocacy in general and private labour governance in particular are receiving less attention from European CSOs.
