The intense development of nanotechnology in recent years poses the basic question about the safety of employees who work with nanomaterials. The study attempts to determine how employers should regulate health protection when working with nanoparticles. Employers should be aware of the importance of the risks associated with nanotechnology and their responsibility for worker health and safety. The study is a continuation of the author’s previous analyses of ways to regulate occupational safety and health in the use of nanomaterials. The author examines the theory of responsive regulation in the context of health and safety with nano- materials and the importance of dialogue in this regulatory process. The regulatory agencies should intervene in this area depending on the attainment of the assumed objectives of the law. The sense of responsibility for the effect could improve the quality of OH&S with nanomaterials.

Twelve Communist trade union leaders from nine nations in the prosperous post-war period are compared, on the basis of an in-depth Belgian example, in an attempt to define their common theoretical profile. Five major analogies, from family origins to the end of their careers, offer a hypothetical look at the militant career of twelve workers with little schooling who fought major socio-political conflicts with their factory workers and took on major responsibilities at the head of their union and party, not without encountering numerous problems and internal tensions. This analysis provides a glimpse into the ethos of a particular type of trade unionist and the environment that led them to surpass themselves and break through the glass ceiling of social reproduction, without betraying the aspirations and values of their class.

Union communication and framing are important for how union members, as well as how unions as organizations, are represented. In the context of declining union density and therefore fewer direct union members, unions' daily communication material on social media may be one of the most common interactions people have with unions. This case study focuses on United Nurses of Alberta, the union for most registered nurses in Alberta, Canada, where unionization rates are among the lowest in Canada. This case study shows how United Nurses of Alberta uses two collective action frames, nurses-as-distinct and nurses-as-advocates, in their daily communication to members and the public. In creating and promoting these frames, United Nurses of Alberta draws from and pushes against the industrial relations framework under which they operate and the historical narrative of nurses as caring and self-sacrificing, which may reinforce common understandings of nursing and also limit United Nurses of Alberta's ability to represent their members.

Objective: to define libertarian principles of labor law, to establish their place in the system of labor law, and to identify problems related to their implementation in the law enforcement practice of EAEU member states.Methods: dialectical approach to cognition of social phenomena, allowing to analyze them in historical development and functioning in the context of the totality of objective and subjective factors, which predetermined the following research methods: formal-legal, comparative-legal, and method of specific sociological research.Results: based of natural-law and libertarian concepts of legal understanding, the author formulates a definition of the “libertarian principles of labor law” concept as guiding ideas that embody freedom and underlie the labor law construction. The author determines the vector of its further development in the regulation of labor and associated relations. The main libertarian principles of labor law are proposed and analyzed: a) freedom of labor force movement; b) freedom of labor and the right to work; c) prohibition of forced labor; d) freedom of contract (specified as the principles of freedom of labor contract, freedom of collective bargaining, agreement); e) freedom of association; f) freedom of collective bargaining, freedom of choice in discussing issues within the sphere of labor, voluntariness of the parties’ taking obligations (as the main principles of social partnership). The study results are expressed in theoretical conclusions and assessment of labor legislation of the EAEU countries in terms of the libertarian principles of labor law completely reflected and guaranteed in them.Scientific novelty: the paper is the first to analyze libertarian principles of labor law as a separate group of principles of labor law in the EAEU member states and to reveal the legal nature and system of libertarian principles of labor law.Practical significance: the main provisions and conclusions of the article can be used in scientific, pedagogical and law enforcement activities when considering issues related to the consideration and resolution of labor disputes, in overcoming gaps and legal conflicts in labor legislation.

13. Locating Migrants Within Informal Workers' Organizing in India: Has COVID-19 Changed Anything?

There is a rich narrative on the new dynamics of organizing among informal workers wherein citizenship claims rather labour rights become the basis for negotiation. However, putting citizenship claims at the centre puts migrants at a relative disadvantage. Migrants share their vulnerabilities with other informal workers, but they have additional disadvantages rooted in them being 'non-citizens'. Ironically, migrants are often treated in existing literature as an undifferentiated part of informal labour. Situated in the aftermath of COVID-19, this article locates migrant workers' vulnerability within their inability to organize as a unique group rather than just as trade-based associations of informal workers. Specifically, the paper asks; what explains the lack of organization among migrant workers? What is the role of trade unions in this regard? And, how has an NGO-led initiative during the outbreak of Covid-19, unfolded opportunities for migrant street vendors to organize? Based on a qualitative study using, primary data from two districts in India, it is found that migrants are occupationally designed to remain de-organized, whereas trade unions represent a case of moral hazard. In fact, part of this disadvantage persists because migrants' mobilization is yet to figure as a direct agenda of the trade unions. Alongside, a civil society organization, through iterative negotiations initiates a process that, though unintended, can address the citizenship question for migrants. This process mirrors the dynamics of alternative organizing. However, it also signifies that any claims to organize migrant workers must accommodate their distinct positioning within informal workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper envisages how the concept of 'Inequality' has been perceived by the Trade Unionists in late colonial Bengal. Informed by the ideology of Communism, these activists penned down a myriad of insightful analytical tracts, primarily in vernaculars, ranging from propaganda pamphlets to articles in the party organs. Their critique of Imperialism, and how it precipitates economic and socio-political inequalities was grafted in the ethos of class struggle. Through delineating their stark ideological differences with Gandhian mass politics, and by focusing on their intellectual endeavours concerning various structural inequalities of class, religion, caste, and gender it aims at charting out the indigenous response to the global doctrine of Communism. Often overlooked as conventional intellectuals, their literature brings to fore an alternative discourse on anti-colonialism in South Asia, overwhelmed by the theme of Nationalism. This paper is a methodological probe in doing intellectual history from below, adding to the edifice of the existing scholarship on Decolonisation, Communism, and Inequality in the Global South.

15. Trade unions, stigma and legitimacy: A case study about academic wages in British universities.
- Author

Black, Nicholas
- Abstract
This article applies the concept of legitimacy to reinterpret collective bargaining as a war of words instead of an institutional arrangement of negotiations and power struggles between employers and trade unions. The case study investigates trade union discourse by collecting and analysing campaign materials about academic wages across British universities over 18 years. The results suggest trade unions tried to stigmatize British universities for not engaging in consultation and negotiation; acting with honesty and good faith; or being transparent and equitable. However, none of these management practices puts economic framing at the forefront, which is at odds with financialization and the essence of wages being about money and performance. This article concludes that embracing economics and reducing plurality within trade union discourse may help legitimize academic wages to match economic growth in the sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In response to membership decline, trade unions have attempted a number of revitalization strategies. One of these is political campaigning. If used as a revitalization strategy, political campaigns are not just employed because the union desires a specific policy outcome but also as a way to convince new members to join the union. Drawing from the literature on both union revitalization and interest group strategies more in general, we seek to explain why some unions attempt this revitalization strategy where others do not. We use a controlled comparison of two trade union federations in the same country facing the same membership pressures to determine which factor or factors contribute to using this strategy. One trade union organized a campaign to increase the minimum wage specifically to boost its membership (the #Voor14 campaign), while the other did not. On the basis of interviews with key actors in both unions, we identify a key factor in determining union strategic choices: some groups risk their relations with the government and employers to gain more power at the negotiation table, while others believe that expanding membership is not worth risking the relations with the government and employers.

17. Politics of a Just Transition: lessons from the UK coal mines.

COAL mining ,ENVIRONMENTAL justice - Abstract
The concept of a Just Transition [JT] gained considerable international interest as exemplified by a dedicated pavilion set up for the JT by the European Commission and the ILO at the COP27. Although the concept now encompasses a wide range of justices such as the social, legal, and environmental justices, the original concept itself can be traced back to trade union movements in the 1980s. Drawing lessons from the socio-economic damage caused by a failed JT of the UK mine closures between the 1980s and 1990s, this paper argues that former coal mining communities in the UK today continues to face similar problems identified in the past, which makes them uniquely vulnerable against the current process of JT. This paper utilises the multi-level perspective [MLP] theory by fleshing out the role of politics and policy in enabling a JT, using a case study approach to the coal mine closure in the North of England. This paper identifies the failed JT at every stage of the MLP theory. It concludes that the example of the coal mine closures provides a valuable lesson for a successful JT today such as stronger key stakeholder cooperation and a place-based response through significant decentralisation.

LABOR market ,PANEL analysis ,SOCIAL security - Abstract
The role of trade unions in the labour market is currently a hot topic in Vietnam as there is a plan to transition from a single state-led union system to a new system that allows the participation of some types of independent unions. This study provides the first evidence on the links between union coverage and workers' welfare utilising a Vietnamese national representative dataset. An instrument variable technique is applied for estimation. Using cross-sectional data, the study finds that union coverage negatively affects both sexes in terms of earnings and labour supply while positively affecting their participation in social insurance. However, the effects disappear for women in terms of earnings and for both sexes in terms of labour supply when investigating the non-state sector. The study also shows some important results using panel data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Industrial Relations (IR) as a management discipline cannot be studied in isolation from its socio-environments (Dunlop, 1958; Hyman, 1994). While the importance of culture as a factor of influence on the behaviour of humans in the society has been emphasised by sociologists like Durkheim (1952) and Jung (1964), management researchers have also established that culture has notable impacts on organisation behaviours and management practices. The dominant approach to the study of culture in management literature has been the comparative approach which often explains the differences in organisations behaviours and management practices across national boundaries as being caused by cultural differences (Adler 2002; Lewis, 1996; Schwartz, 1999; Trompenaars, 1998; Hofstede 1980). This comparative approach often yields limited insights into the understanding of each of the compared cultures. This thesis addresses this gap, first by identifying relevant cultural anthropological features of the Yorùbá society of Southwest Nigeria, and secondly by outlining the peculiarities which these socio-cultural features bring to the behaviour of people as actors within IR, and to the nationally established processes and institutions of IR within Nigeria, most of which are patterned after the Western IR traditions as a former British Colony. Empirical evidence outlined in this thesis were collected using a semi-structured interview, analysis of related IR documents, and non-participant observation. The findings of this thesis interrogate the appropriateness of western-styled IR practices as the only approach for managing employment relations within Yoruba society. The thesis finds evidence of exchange between the society and Employment Relations (ER) of organisations in the region, thus explaining the presence of socio-cultural actors and extra-tripartite institutions, and co-existence (in terms of conflict and cooperation) of workplace interests and societal interests in Labour Dialogue and Conflict Resolution (LDCR) of 12 selected universities from southwest Nigeria, as impacts of the elements of the Socio-Cultural Dynamics of Yorùbá Society (SCDYS) of southwest Nigeria. This thesis offers a renewed argument for the recognition of Ackers' (2002; 2014; 2019) neo-pluralism as useful 'frame of reference'. The empirical evidence produced by this research has informed the development of Society- Employment Relations (SERE) Model which is the substantive contribution of this thesis to the analysis of the intersections of Employment Relations and society.

Seventy five years after Charles Dukes represented the UK at the UN's Human Rights Commission which drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1947–1948, he is scarcely known compared with "major" figures of the drafting, like Roosevelt, Malik, and Cassin. With little formal education, the life-long trade union official had a very different profile from the jurists, academics, and diplomats who represented the other 17 states. Yet, Dukes' intimate practical understanding of social and economic rights added an essential perspective, at a moment when the Cold War began to stir, including the battle for the heart of organized labor.

PUBLIC sector ,LITERATURE reviews ,SOCIAL scientists ,JUDGMENT sampling ,STATISTICAL sampling ,ROLE conflict - Abstract
This study focuses on examining the role of trade unionism in contributing to organisational conflicts within the public sector. Employing a mixed-method approach, both quantitative and qualitative methods were utilized. The study's population consisted of 18,800 individuals, with a sample size of 384 determined through a sample size calculator. Ultimately, 299 questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 77.8%. Additionally, 34 interviews were conducted. Theoretical frameworks, including the goal system, unitary, radical, and pluralist theories, were employed during the literature review. Sampling techniques encompassed stratified random sampling and purposive sampling. Quantitative data underwent analysis using the Scientific Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) version 23, aided by Microsoft Excel, while qualitative data was analysed using Nvivo version 12.The research's findings underscore that trade unions have lost effectiveness and struggle to fulfill their intended role as contributors to organisational conflicts. Notably, the research was unfunded, and ethical considerations were scrupulously followed. Respondents were willingly engaged, and participation was voluntary, allowing them to withdraw from the study at any point without coercion. This study bears substantial significance for policymakers when formulating legislative provisions concerning employment relations. Scholarly peers aiming to expand their knowledge in the realm of trade unionism will benefit from the insights this study contributes to the existing knowledge base. The study's results are poised to positively influence the negotiation dynamics between management and employees in disputes involving both interests and rights. In conclusion, this comprehensive study sheds light on the diminishing efficacy of trade unions as drivers of organisational conflict within the public sector. By employing a mixed-method approach and integrating multiple theoretical frameworks, the research has broad-ranging implications for policy, theory advancement, and social interactions within the realm of employment relations.

This editorial shows how the digital economy continuously reshapes work and employment. Based on a literature review, it illustrates that digitalization frequently implies job loss, de-skilling and measures to restrict co-determination and participation of labor. However, digitalization also offers opportunities for managers, employees and unions to create new work tasks and conditions for skilled work. After showing major trends of digitalization in the last decades, the editorial illustrates recent research fields in economic geography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Employees in the medical profession in a situation where the life of a patient is at risk cannot refrain from working due to unsafe working conditions. Therefore, enforcing the right to safe and hygienic working conditions is particularly important so that employees can provide health care services without additional burdens. The purpose of the study is to determine how the social labour inspector can respond to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) hazards and whether the current powers of the social labor inspectorate as the employer’s internal OHS control body are sufficient. The study conducted a regulatory analysis and used relevant literature, including recent studies on law enforcement. In addition, a questionnaire survey was conducted among trade union representatives of medical professionals on the evaluation of social labour inspector activities and OHS hazards during the COVID-19 epidemic period. In this period characterized by many OHS risks in medical entities, the difficulties faced by employers in carrying out their duty to protect the health of their employees became apparent. The system of internal control with the participation of the social labour inspection in this context needs changes, due to the fact that it is used in an inefficient manner. The reasons for this are primarily incomplete legal regulations. The legislator should guarantee the social labour inspector the right to use both methods of rewarding the employer as an incentive for the proper performance of duties and measures to deter violations of the law. Despite the fact that Polish labour law guarantees mechanisms for OHS control by the social labour inspector, it would be appropriate to expand the catalog of measures used by him to effectively motivate employers to protect worker health. This study is a prelude to a broader discussion of OHS monitoring in the context of OHS hazards occurring in healthcare entities. Med Pr Work Health Saf. 2023;74(4):301–16.

This article aims to explain the changes in the trade unions of the Venezuelan oil sector from its origin to the present day. After the nationalization of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) in 1976, a model based on a technocratic meritocracy emerged, with increasing autonomy from the state. This phase ended under the Chávez presidency, with the dismissal of 18,756 workers following the 2002-2003 “managers’ insurrection.” The promises of employee participation were long forgotten and an arbitrary management was set up, combining the repression of union activists, the endangering of workers due to non-compliance with safety conditions, major damage to the environment, and the multiplication of corruption scandals.

This article deals with employees' right to freedom of association and their protection against victimisation when exercising this right in the workplace. First it explains the concepts of "freedom of association" and "victimisation". It then considers the protection of employees against victimisation for exercising the right to freedom of association internationally and domestically, however, only in the employment context. It considers the protection of the right to freedom of association in South Africa in terms of the Constitution and its regulation under various sections of the LRA. It also looks at limitations on the right to freedom of association and the remedies available to employees who experience victimisation because of exercising this right. It further considers the regulation of the right to freedom of association in the UK. It argues that although this right is well protected internationally and domestically, employees still experience victimisation as a result of exercising it. It further argues that the protection of this right and its exercise by employees is necessary to bring a balance to an uneven relationship between employers and employees in the workplace. It concludes that trade unions together with employers have a responsibility to ensure that employees exercise their constitutional right to freedom of association with no fear of victimisation.

Industrial Relations (IR) or Employment Relations (ER) isa marker of organized industry and organized labour that has evolved since the industrial revolution and mechanized production. Different country has seen the evolution of participatory management in manufacturing and production in different ways at different times where management allowed or was forced to allow democratic norms in labour or employee relations. Readymade Garment (RMG) is one of the most visible organized manufacturing sectors serving as back-office suppliers of global brands of developed countries. This research attempted to measure the effectiveness of IR practices of selected Readymade Garment (RMG) factories to explore the relationships, job security, and empowerment issues. Opinions of 346 workers were collected and analyzed using a one-sample "ttest". The study discovered the effectiveness of IR practices in the area of developing a positive relationship among all the stakeholders, and the sample RMGs were found to be weak in ensuring social security for the workers and establishing trade unions in the factory. This research work is one of the first attempts to measure the IR practice in the RMG sector of Bangladesh. However, its outcome may enrich the existing body of knowledge and facilities in the design of an effective IR program for the development of this sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Stakeholder involvement and dialogue with the social partners are of paramount importance for the implementation of climate-neutral policies and the circular economy. With the European Green Deal, the European Commission is reaffirming its commitment to tackling the climate and environmental challenges that are the defining task of our generation. The atmosphere is warming and climate change is being felt year on year. This transition must be fair, and the fair transition mechanism itself will support regions that are highly dependent on carbon-intensive industries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the 21st century, migrations have become increasing-ly intense, since they are often planned with a specific goal and could cause major social changes. Unfortunately, since there is no definition of the term ‘migrant’, countries face a particular challenge in protecting migrant workers’ right to work. The International Labour Organization, the Council of Europe, and the European Union have made significant contributions to establishing and developing the migrant worker protection system. At the national level, governments and trade unions contribute to migrant workers’ protection by adopting laws to control migrations. However, with many social, political, and economic factors at play, countries can’t always control immigration within their own territory. The author’s hypothesis is that the position of migrant workers depends significantly on the host country’s im-migration and labour policies. The paper concludes that the application of general provisions prescribed at the international level cannot and does not fully protect the rights of migrant workers. Given this, it is not surprising that certain countries and trade unions have begun to protect their interests by adopting legal regulations to manage mi-gration within their territory. The paper identifies the fear that labour migration will negatively affect trade unions’ image in those countries where trade unions are weak and disjointed, without real power to influence decision-makers. Finally, when analysing the position of migrant workers in the Republic of Serbia, the author points that the motives for labour force emigration from Serbia are extremely strong, so even if certain changes were to be made to labour con-ditions, there would be no reduction in emigration. This is because workers’ motives for emigration go beyond mere dissatisfaction with labour conditions, but are rather linked to their general dissatisfaction with the quality of life in Serbia

For decades, migrant workers with temporary and service contract work in the German meat industry have rarely been recruited by trade unions. The Arbeitsschutzkontrollgesetz (“Occupational Safety and Health Inspection Act”) law implemented in 2021 aimed to grant equal employment conditions to the majority of the workers in slaughterhouses, creating new avenues for trade unions to gain more members and organize industry-level negotiations for better wages and a collective agreement. This article explores the lessons we can draw from the series of strikes that accompanied the negotiations. By relying primarily on participant observation in the meat industry strikes and employing an actor-centred perspective on industrial relations, the paper reveals the role of shop-floor organic intellectuals in mobilizing and demobilizing workers. The analysis of the strikes shows that organic intellectuals can be instrumental in articulating the resistance of subaltern groups, but they can also be co-opted by dominant groups to manufacture consent.

In the historical process, the world has witnessed many changes and transformations and experienced important turning point. In recent years, technological developments that affect everyone in social life trigger this change. Although the development process of technology is based on very old times, it reaches different extent in the 21st century. What makes this process different is that developing technologies intertwine and cause mutual interactions in physical and digital dimensions. This process, which is defined as Industry 4.0; With its components such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, robots, cyber-physical systems, 3D printers, big data, cloud computing, simulation, virtual reality, it deeply affects all social life and labor markets. While these social transformations offer some opportunities, they also cause problems such as inequality, unemployment, non-standard and precariousness employment. These problems increase the distribution struggle within the society and reveal the importance of unions and organization. Therefore, this study aims to explain the basic components of Industry 4.0, which leads to significant technological developments, to examine its positive and negative effects on labor markets, and to examine the roles and new organization strategies that the trade unions will assume in the face of these transformations. For this purpose, it has been determined that the injustice, inequality, unemployment, insecurity and poverty that Industry 4.0 has created and will create will increase the fight for distribution, and accordingly, the trade unions, which play an important role in creating a fairer society, as in the past industrial revolutions, will also be based on knowledge and technology in this process. It has been concluded that a different organization model is in search of a different organization model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this article is to analyze the power of trade unions to influence a French industrial policy. The study examines the case of the medical imaging industry, in which a trade union managed to convince both the firms and the government to invest in a new innovation center. Through a qualitative study, the author highlights step by step the power resources this trade union used to deploy multi-level 'political work'. Through this lobbying process involving various actors, resources and institutions, the study examines participation of stakeholders in industrial policy formulation and implementation, questioning the possibilities for a trade union to be decisive in economic development. It is found that the lack of trade union structural power and institutional power (including investment capabilities) makes it difficult to successfully put an industrial project on the agenda and even more difficult to participate in the investment phase.

We utilize the literature on social pacts to argue that governments can reduce manual worker support for the radical right by engaging in an inclusive process of decision-making with unions. Our analysis examines 11 Western European countries between 1999 and 2017 and employs a Heckman selection model. We find that when left or mainstream right governments complete social pact agreements, manual workers become less likely to support radical right-wing parties (RRPs); but when such governments fail to convert social pact proposals into social pact agreements, manual workers become more likely to support RRPs. We also find that social pact agreements have a greater effect on manual worker support for the radical right when they occur under mainstream right governments, but that failed social pact proposals have a greater effect on manual worker support for the radical right when they occur under left governments; and that the social pact formation process matters more for the RRP support of manual workers who belong to a union than those who do not. Our results suggest that manual worker support for the radical right is not only a function of issue voting or socioeconomic and policy outcomes, but also features of the policymaking process.

CLIMATE change , *GEOGRAPHY , *GEOGRAPHERS - Abstract
Geographers have increasingly studied labor and climate change, albeit not in a unitary field. I propose to address this by outlining an environmental labor geography – that draws from labor geography's tenets. Moreover, I agree with other scholars that organized worker-led mass movements will be key to solving the climate crisis. Thus, I argue that labor agency is a useful tool that centers workers' actions. However, to derive useful generalizations for struggles on the ground, the concept should be delimited to organized expressions of agency. Finally, I examine past and present conversion debates as cases of interest in ELG. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
