Labor Movements Global Perspectives
Free Download Labor Movements: Global Perspectives By Stephanie Luce
2014 | 258 Pages | ISBN: 0745670601 | PDF | 1 MB
Fewer than 12 percent of U.S. workers belong to unions, and union membership rates are falling in much of the world. With tremendous growth in inequality within and between countries, steady or indeed rising unemployment and underemployment, and the marked increase in precarious work and migration, can unions still play a role in raising wages and improving work conditions?This book provides a critical evaluation of labor unions both in the U.S. and globally, examining the factors that have led to the decline of union power and arguing that, despite their challenges, unions still have a vital part to play in the global economy. Stephanie Luce explores the potential sources of power that unions might have, and emerging new strategies and directions for the growth of global labor movements, such as unions, worker centers, informal sector organizations, and worker co-operatives, helping workers resist the impacts of neoliberalism. She shows that unions may in fact be more relevant now than ever.This important assessment of labor movements in the global economy will be required reading for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of labor studies, political and economic sociology, the sociology of work, and social movements.

Beasts of Burden Biopolitics, Labor, and Animal Life in British Romanticism
Free Download Beasts of Burden: Biopolitics, Labor, and Animal Life in British Romanticism By Ron Broglio
2017 | 180 Pages | ISBN: 1438465688 | PDF | 12 MB
Uses literature, art, and cultural texts from the British Romantic period to explore the age in which biological life and its abilities first became regulated by the rising nation.In Beasts of Burden, Ron Broglio examines how lives―human and animal―were counted in rural England and Scotland during the Romantic period. During this time, Britain experienced unprecedented data collection from censuses, ordinance surveys, and measurements of resources, all used to quantify the life and productivity of the nation. It was the dawn of biopolitics―the age in which biological life and its abilities became regulated by the state. Borne primarily by workers and livestock, nowhere was this regulation felt more powerfully than in the fields, commons, and enclosures. Using literature, art, and cultural texts of the period, Broglio explores the apparatus of biopolitics during the age of Adam Smith and Thomas Malthus. He looks at how data collection turned everyday life into citizenship and nationalism and how labor class poets and artists recorded and resisted the burden of this new biopolitical life. The author reveals how the frictions of material life work over and against designs by the state to form a unified biopolitical Britain. At its most radical, this book changes what constitutes the central concerns of the Romantic period and which texts are valuable for understanding the formation of a nation, its agriculture, and its rural landscapes.

Monopsony in Labor Markets
Free Download Monopsony in Labor Markets: Theory, Evidence, and Public Policy
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1009465228 | 211 Pages | PDF | 4 MB
The economics of monopsony power results in lower wages and other forms of compensation, as well as reduced employment. Wealth is transferred from workers to their employers. In addition, the employer's output is reduced, which leads to increased prices for consumers. Monopsony in Labor Markets demonstrates that elements of monopsony are pervasive and explores the available antitrust policy options. It presents the economic and empirical foundations for antitrust concerns and sets out the relevant antitrust policy. Building on this foundation, it examines collusion on compensation, collusive no-poaching agreements, and the inclusion of non-compete agreements in employment contracts. It also addresses the influence of labor unions, labor's antitrust exemption, which permits the exercise of countervailing power, and the consequences of mergers to monopsony. Offering a thorough explanation of antitrust policy, this book identifies the basic economic problems with monopsony in labor markets and explains the remedies currently available.

Languages of Labor and Gender. Female Factory Work in Germany, 1850–1914
Free Download Languages of Labor and Gender. Female Factory Work in Germany, 1850-1914 By Kathleen Canning
1996 | 343 Pages | ISBN: 0801431239 | PDF | 19 MB
Languages of Labor and Gender argues that the meaning of women's work radically changed as the German economy transformed from an agrarian to a largely industrial one in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Canning debunks the myth that women constituted a peripheral and transient labor force in Germany during this time period, also arguing that female textile workers were central to the creation of the protective labor policies of the emergent German welfare state. She goes on to explore the rhetoric and imagery of the social issue of female factory labor in Germany, as well as the ways in which the women workers themselves perceived their experience.Kathleen Canning is Associate Professor of History and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan. She is the author of several books on gender issues.

Archives of Labor Working–Class Women and Literary Culture in the Antebellum United States
Free Download Archives of Labor: Working-Class Women and Literary Culture in the Antebellum United States By Lori Merish
2017 | 328 Pages | ISBN: 0822363224 | PDF | 21 MB
In Archives of Labor Lori Merish establishes working-class women as significant actors within literary culture, dramatically redrawing the map of nineteenth-century US literary and cultural history. Delving into previously unexplored archives of working-class women's literature-from autobiographies, pamphlet novels, and theatrical melodrama to seduction tales and labor periodicals-Merish recovers working-class women's vital presence as writers and readers in the antebellum era. Her reading of texts by a diverse collection of factory workers, seamstresses, domestic workers, and prostitutes boldly challenges the purportedly masculine character of class dissent during this era. Whether addressing portrayals of white New England "factory girls," fictional accounts of African American domestic workers, or the first-person narratives of Mexican women working in the missions of Mexican California, Merish unsettles the traditional association of whiteness with the working class to document forms of cross-racial class identification and solidarity. In so doing, she restores the tradition of working women's class protest and dissent, shows how race and gender are central to class identity, and traces the ways working women understood themselves and were understood as workers and class subjects.
