Описание:
Combating climate change will increasingly impact on production industries. Whether creating 'greener technologies or transforming economies to become sustainable, production will change. Even policies that focus on reducing or changing consumption aim to influence production. Research to date has largely ignored the effect of climate change policies on workers and trade union policies. This book brings scholars and practitioners across the globe together: sociologists, psychologists, political scientists, historians, economists, unionists, and environmentalists based in Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Taiwan, Spain, Sweden, the U.K and the U.S.A. Together they will open up a new area of research: Environmental Labour Studies.
What effect will moving to green production have on workers? How can unions influence processes of re-skilling, avoiding redundancies? Can North-South union solidarity create a "level playing field" globally? How can unions reconcile the protection of jobs and the protection of the environment? These questions are addressed by analysing how unions and environmental movements are learning from each other through a range of different initiatives. The book explores the Red-Green alliances in the US, Australia, South Korea and Taiwan; the theoretical and practical implications of the unions "Just Transition" policy and the problems and perspectives of "Green Jobs" policies in the US. More generally it looks at how food workers rights can be used as a path to low carbon agriculture, the role workers identities and social security play in union climate change policies and the strategies employed by unions towards environmental degradation. In introducing the topic of Environmental Labour Studies, this book opens the climate change debate up to trade unionists, business managers and policy makers, whilst also being of interest to academics in the fields of environmental management, environmental politics and climate change policy.

Описание: The writings in this volume see the South African labour movement as an actor capable of shaping democratization. Through the strategic use of power, labour has reconfigured democratization through negotiated compromises, attempting to ensure that the costs of adjustment are not borne by workers alone.
Faced with the economic pressures of globalization, many countries have sought to curb the fundamental right of workers to join trade unions and engage in collective action. In response, trade unions in developed countries have strategically used their own governments' commitments to human rights as a basis for resistance. Since the protection of human rights remains an important normative principle in global affairs, democratic countries cannot merely ignore their human rights obligations and must balance their international commitments with their desire to remain economically competitive and attractive to investors. Human Rights and Labor Solidarity analyzes trade unions' campaigns to link local labor rights disputes to international human rights frameworks, thereby creating external scrutiny of governments. As a result of these campaigns, states engage in what political scientist Susan L. Kang terms a normative negotiation process, in which governments, trade unions, and international organizations construct and challenge a broader understanding of international labor rights norms to determine whether the conditions underlying these disputes constitute human rights violations. In three empirically rich case studies covering South Korea, the United Kingdom, and Canada, Kang demonstrates that this normative negotiation process was more successful in creating stronger protections for trade unions' rights when such changes complemented a government's other political interests. She finds that states tend not to respect stronger economically oriented human rights obligations due to the normative power of such rights alone. Instead, trade union transnational activism, coupled with sufficient political motivations, such as direct economic costs or strong rule of law obligations, contributed to changes in favor of workers' rights.

Описание: Many commentators expected the Russian trade unions to collapse along with the system of which they were an integral part, but the trade unions survived the storms of the Yeltsin era by adopting a strategy of `social partnership`.
