The Representation of Workers in the Digital Era
Author: Raquel RegoPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031046528
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
This book compiles empirical evidence on both the challenges raised by neo-liberal policies and the internet to trade unions, and the development of more flexible forms of worker organisation and collective representation. The relationship with digital devices seems inevitably to contribute to differentiating trends, simultaneously acting as an internal and external constraint on organisation. Gathering academics and experts from European and Brazilian universities, this book is recommended for researchers and students in the fields of sociology of work, labour studies and collective action, as well as practitioners and others interested in worker interest organisations and collective representation in the early 21st Century.
Author: Social Policy Dismantling and De-democratization in Brazil
Author: Sonia FleuryPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303135110X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This book examines the emergence of authoritarian populist regimes, analyzing Brazil as a case study. The authors explain how the tactics employed by the Bolsonaro administration to dismantle bureaucracy and public policies, especially labour and social policies, find expression in the fiscal austerity measures recently inscribed in the Federal Constitution: a counter-democratic device employed by technical and financial elites to systemically derail the social protection system. Through this in-depth case study, the book presents new theoretical arguments and concepts that can be useful to understand the dynamics of such new regimes, and discussing similar cases in other contexts. Democratic governments in Brazil, driven by social movements and political actors, have strengthened social protection through a distinctive institutional architecture that combines the strengthening of public bureaucracies, the creation of intergovernmental networks, and the democratic instances of social participation and agreement. The contributions throughout this volume analyze these transformations in different sectors of public policy, such as labour, employment, pensions, food and nutrition security, health, and social assistance. Each contribution discusses the recent trajectory through a political analysis of the main actors and institutions, reform processes and policy changes, and the results achieved. Finally, the existing weaknesses in each of these social protection sectors are identified in the context of the literature on policy dismantling, revealing the strategies used to take advantage of these political and institutional weaknesses. This book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of political science and public policy, interested in a better understanding of de-democratization by social policy dismantling.

Principled Labor Law
Author: Sergio Gamonal C.Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019005266X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
The gig economy, precarious work, and nonstandard employment have forced labor law scholars to rethink their discipline. Classical remedies for unequal power, capabilities approaches, "third way" market regulation, and laissez-faire all now vie for attention - at least in English. Despite a deep history of labor activism, Latin American scholarship has had scant presence in these debates. This book introduces to an English-language audience another approach: principled labor law, based on Latin American perspectives, using a jurisprudential method focused on worker protection. The authors apply this methodology to the least likely case of labor-protective jurisprudence in the industrialized world: the United States. In doing so, Gamonal and Rosado focus on the Thirteenth Amendment as a labor-protective constitutional provision, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. This book shows how principled labor law can provide a clear and simple method for consistent, labor-protective jurisprudence in the United States and beyond.
Property Threats and the Politics of Anti-Statism
Author: Gabriel OndettiPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108915604
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Tax revenues have risen robustly across Latin America in recent decades, casting doubt on the region's reputation for having states too poor to finance economic and social development. However, dramatic differences persist in the magnitude of national tax burdens and public sector size, even among seemingly similar countries. This book examines the historical roots of this variation. Through in-depth case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico, as well as evidence from Ecuador and Guatemala, Ondetti reveals the lasting impact of historical episodes of redistributive reform that threatened property rights. Ironically, where such episodes were most extensive, they hindered future taxation by prompting economic elites and social conservatives to mobilize politically against state intervention, forming peak business associations, rightist parties, and other formal and informal organizations that have proven to be remarkably enduring.
A Reforma Trabalhista
Author: Maira de Souza AlmeidaPublisher: Editora Dialética
ISBN: 6525247330
Category : Law
Languages : pt-BR
Pages : 164
Book Description
É sabido que as mudanças fáticas e sociais antecedem, muitas vezes, a transformação normativa, por isso, neste livro, para a compreensão da Reforma Trabalhista, realiza-se, primeiramente, uma abordagem institucional sobre a relação existente entre os Poderes Republicanos e a crise econômica, pela qual atravessa o Estado brasileiro, desde o ano de 2015, que culminou na flexibilização das leis trabalhistas no Brasil. A Reforma Trabalhista de 2017 inseriu e modificou diversos institutos jurídicos na Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho (CLT). No intuito de não prejudicar o direito ao acesso do trabalhador à Justiça do Trabalho, propõe-se uma interpretação humanista e protetiva, para alguns dos novos dispositivos legais. A descrição histórica sobre o surgimento da Justiça do Trabalho no Brasil e de sua função social, bem como o esclarecimento de como funciona o sistema de Justiça, na atualidade, esmiuçando os principais princípios específicos do Direito de Trabalho, são vetores que servem de norte para a avaliação dos novos parâmetros normativos. Finalmente, propõe-se, por intermédio da hermenêutica jurídica, a irradiação das normas constitucionais e dos tratados internacionais de Direitos Humanos, dos quais o Estado brasileiro é signatário, para a compreensão da norma infraconstitucional laboral, no intuito de possibilitar que continue a ser percorrido um caminho protetivo para o Direito e o Processo do Trabalho brasileiro.
