Book Synopsis Reconstructing New Zealand's Labour Law by : Gordon Anderson
Download or read book Reconstructing New Zealand's Labour Law written by Gordon Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The history of labour law is the story of workers struggling to gain a voice in and control over their economic security. Over the last 40 years, New Zealand's labour law and industrial relations systems have been in a state of flux, during which worker rights have been consistently eroded. The Employment Contracts Act 1991 marked an ideological break from a century-long tradition of pluralist labour legislation and was concerned primarily with restructuring the labour market to individualise employment relationships and boost managerial control. The Employment Relations Act 2000 may have partially restored the right to effective collective bargaining, but ultimately it is a system of self-help rather than one of state dependency, and marks a new, as yet unfinished, phase in labour regulation. This book provides an overview of the changing structures of labour law that culminated in the Employment Relations Act 2000, and an analysis of the current state of the law as it affects areas such as the contract of employment, collective bargaining, security of employment and trade unions. It includes a discussion of current tensions that are likely to impact on the development of the law, and the structure of employment and industrial relations, in the future"--Back cover.

Download or read book Precarity written by Shioh Groot and published by Massey University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading UK economist Guy Standing has referred to the precariat as a class-in-the-making. The Precariat are our fellow citizens — be they poor, elderly, disabled, homeless, estranged from their cultural communities, refugees, engaged in casual work — who lead lives of uncertainty, dependency, powerlessness, perilousness and insufficiency. They are the outcome of the gradual dismantling of the welfare state and the withering of union representation. They are also the victims of the changing nature of work. This important book moves beyond the world of labour to identify and illustrate other forms of precarity in New Zealand, including the lack of opportunities for cultural expression and the struggle to be safe. It focuses on New Zealand's emerging class, not to further vilify it but rather to place its members' lived experience in plain sight. As the editors say, &‘It is time that all New Zealanders understood the reality of what many of our citizens endure in the struggle to make ends meet and live dignified lives.'

Book Synopsis Regulating Employment Industrial Relations and Labour Law Intl Co by : Blanpain
Download or read book Regulating Employment Industrial Relations and Labour Law Intl Co written by Blanpain and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complexity of employment arrangements in various countries tends to make it difficult to understand them. Nevertheless, it is important to 'take stock' periodically, particularly from an internationally comparative perspective. This remarkable book is a giant step in that direction. It is especially valuable in the context of increasing globalisation. For each of nine key jurisdictions - the European Union, Germany, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Japan - experts present detailed information and analysis on key issues, shedding valuable light on trends in such specific areas of employment relations as the following: * atypical work and flexible work arrangements; * dispute settlement procedures such as negotiation, conciliation, mediation, arbitration and other forms of governmental or judicial intervention; * job security, anti-discrimination and gender equality; * recognition of unions and employers' associations and forms of employee representation; * how collective bargaining is regulated, whom the collective agreements cover and what they contain; * parental leave and childcare policy; * the capacity of individual agreements to override or not override collective agreements; * minimum wage levels; * overtime and shift work; and * paid leave entitlements. As a general framework, Part 1 offers an insightful summary of the underpinnings of current analysis of globalization, including discussion of the varieties of capitalism thesis, the divergence/convergence debate (with its models of bipolarization, clustering and hybridization), and elements of historical and political-economic path dependency in various cultures. The information gathered here furthers understanding of the increasing 'disconnect' between the prevailing institutional framework for employment relations and the sweeping changes that are taking place in the world of work. With this book's analysis, practitioners and policymakers will be able to overcome their dated assumptions and more effectively accommodate each others' interests in the face of the complex mix of continuity and change that they are confronting. The team of authors are experts in these countries. They are active in policy or legal analysis, business and/or scholarship.

Book Synopsis Labour Market and Social Protection Reforms in International Perspective by : Giuliano Bonoli
Download or read book Labour Market and Social Protection Reforms in International Perspective written by Giuliano Bonoli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social protection systems and labour markets have undergone major changes in the past two decades. Welfare states are being reformed, scaled back and modernised; labour markets, at the same time, are more precarious, more feminised, more unequal, and throughout the OECD area, older. The interaction between labour markets and social protection has become increasingly crucial to the social and economic policy mix concerning unemployment, the transformation of work, the new poverty, and even demographics. Against this background, an interdisciplinary team of leading labour market and social protection experts from various OECD countries examine the multifaceted aspects of the changing relationship between social protection systems and labour markets. They identify and analyse key emerging issues, such as the link between employment and social protection financing, the adaptation of social protection systems to women's career patterns, and the development of new forms of social protection that aim at promoting employment. With practical policy guides and recommendations using case studies and comparative chapters, this will be engaging reading for policy-makers, social actors and academics alike.

Book excerpt: The Employment Contracts Act (1991), a key component of the structural reforms that have taken place in New Zealand since 1984, is discussed internationally as a model for designing new labour laws. The Act repudiated collective action and bargaining, rejecting almost a century of practice, and transformed unions and workplace relations.

Book Synopsis Transforming Workplace Relations by : Anderson GORDON
Download or read book Transforming Workplace Relations written by Anderson GORDON and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1960s New Zealand's industrial relations entered the most turbulent era in its history. The following three decades witnessed the decline and eventual repeal of the arbitration system which had dominated industrial relations since 1894 and culminated with the enactment of the neo-liberal Employment Contracts Act in 1991. It was not until a decade later that the Employment Relations Act 2000 provided a broad agreement on the regulation of labor relations, resulting in almost two decades of relative stability. Transforming Workplace Relations reflects on this revolution and speculates on the future of work relationships in a world challenged by newly evolving forms of work and employment. Contributors include both those who lived through the last 40 years as well as those who, in another 40 years, may again look back over a much changed employment landscape. This collection marks the 40th anniversary of the inaugural publication in May 1976 of New Zealand Journal of Industrial Relations, a journal which continues to provide a multi-disciplinary commentary and analysis of the changes impacting the lives of working New Zealanders and their employers.
Book Synopsis The Role of Collective Bargaining in the Global Economy by : Susan Hayter

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the ways in which collective bargaining addresses a variety of workplace concerns in the context of today.s global economy. Globalization can contribute to growth and development, but as the recent financial crisis demonstrated, it also puts employment, earnings and labourstandards at risk. This book examines the role that collective bargaining plays in ensuring that workers are able to obtain a fair share of the benefits arising from participation in the global economy and in providing a measure of security against the risk to employment and wages. It focuses on a commonly neglected side of the story and demonstrates the positivecontribution that collective bargaining can make to both economic and social goals. The various contributions examine how this fundamental principle and right at work is realized in different countries and how its practice can be reinforced across borders. They highlight the numerouschallenges in this regard and the critically important role that governments play in rebalancing bargaining power in a global economy. The chapters are written in an accessible style and deal with practical subjects, including employment security, workplace change and productivity and working time.

Book Synopsis Zero Hours and On-call Work in Anglo-Saxon Countries by : Michelle O’Sullivan
Download or read book Zero Hours and On-call Work in Anglo-Saxon Countries written by Michelle O’Sullivan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on zero hours and on-call work as an extreme form of casual and precarious employment. It includes country studies of the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK, New Zealand and Ireland, where there has been increasing concern about the prevalence of such work, and working time uncertainty, as well as varying levels of public policy debate on regulation. The book incorporates a comparative review of zero hours work based on the findings of the country studies. This pays particular attention to state regulatory responses to zero hours work, and incorporates the sociological concepts of accumulation and legitimation functions of the state. Exploring the regulation of zero hours work beyond individual countries, the book includes an analysis of external regulation of zero hours work at the supranational level, namely the European Union and ILO. Further, it assesses the implications of zero hours for workers in new sectors of economic activity, particularly the impact of the platform or ‘gig’ economy on the fundamental nature of the employment relationship. It also considers the societal implications of zero hours work and the ethical responsibilities of employers and governments towards workers as citizens.
