“…We compare across sectors and across countries identifying meta patterns which reach across some sectors but are not shared by others and, in similar vein, are common to some countries but do not extend to others. In doing so we underline the insights that flow from differentiating between different types of convergence-divergence (Hay, 2000), from a comparative analytical frame that is across sectors as well as across countries (Katz and Darbishire, 2000), and from distinguishing trajectory and end-point (Jacoby, 2005).…”

“…This article’s novel contribution lies in confronting the main theses in the literature on convergence-divergence with a comparison across sectors, as well as countries. The multi-country, multi-sector design enables us to pick up on any ‘converging divergences’ (Katz and Darbishire, 2000). The five countries, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden and the UK, capture different varieties of capitalism.…”

Northern European collective wage bargaining in the face of major political-economic challenges: common and differing trajectories

We address developments in collective wage bargaining arrangements in northern Europe in the light of two major political-economic challenges: EU eastern enlargement and the financial and economic crisis which broke in 2008. Through the lens of debates on convergence and divergence, we examine three dimensions of collective wage bargaining: coordination across sectors; articulation between different levels; and regulation of wage floors. We draw on findings from five countries and four sectors. Our analysis undermines the proposition that developments exhibit a common liberalising trajectory. It points to the differential impact of the two major political-economic challenges as between sectors, highlights similar and different policy responses by actors within a sector across countries, reveals differing consequences for governance of collective wage bargaining across sectors and countries, and finds no uniform trend in wage inequality outcomes.

“…Los análisis desarrollados en países de Europa ponen de manifiesto la importancia de observar al sector como un rasgo explicativo del modelo de las relaciones laborales. Estas investigaciones que adoptan una metodología comparativa entre sistemas consideran que este es un factor central para explicar la divergencia o convergencia de modelos (Katz y Darbishire, 2000;Marginson y Sisson, 2004;Marginson, Arrowsmith y Gray, 2008) y, en particular, trabajos como el de Bechter, Brandly Meardi (2012) señalan que son las lógicas sectoriales, más que las cuestiones nacionales, las que le imprimen rasgos específicos a las relaciones laborales. Como consecuencia de lo anterior, se sostiene que existen más diferencias entre sectores al interior de un mismo país que entre países, lo cual permite establecer diferentes tipos de relaciones laborales organizados en torno a la actividad económica, aún en el marco de un mismo sistema nacional de relaciones laborales (Meardi, 2004).…”

Las empresas Multinacionales (EMN) son actores centrales en el proceso de globalización que con sus operaciones en diferentes partes de mundo y, específicamente, a través de sus prácticas inciden en las instituciones del país de instalación. Las EMN intentan homogeneizar su operatoria a nivel internacional en materia de relaciones laborales y participación sindical, influyendo sobre las lógicas locales y generando dinámicas con configuraciones que van desde la alineación completa con la EMN, hasta el predominio de las instituciones locales en la definición del sistema de relaciones laborales en los espacios de trabajo. En este marco, se proponen dos objetivos centrales: i) identificar diferentes modelos de participación sindical entre las filiales de EMN radicadas en Argentina, y ii) establecer la importancia de factores tales como país de origen, sector de actividad, tamaño, año de ingreso al país, forma de gestión de la fuerza de trabajo y nivel de autonomía del área de recursos humanos frente a la casa matriz en tanto determinantes de los modelos diferenciales mencionados. Para ello se utilizaron dos estrategias analíticas, un análisis de cluster que permitió identificar los diversos modelos de participación sindical y un análisis de regresión logística ordenada para observar la relevancia de los factores condicionantes de los modelos identificados.

“… 1 Questions about divisions or fissures among workers have been much theorized in recent years (Weil, 2014). Some theorists see disparities among workers as a shared feature of all advanced capitalist societies (“converging divergences”; see Katz & Darbishire, 2000). Others speak of growing economic dualism, as some strata of the workforce enjoy greater levels of protection against market-based risks than others (Doellgast et al., 2018; Palier & Thelen, 2010; Rueda, 2014).…”

Production Regimes and Class Compromise Among European Warehouse Workers

The orderly functioning of global capitalism increasingly depends on the labor of logistics workers. But social scientists have yet to produce nuanced accounts of the labor process in the many ports, warehouses, and distribution centers that lie at the heart of logistics work. In this study, the authors seek to connect the nascent field of critical logistics studies to theories of the labor process in an effort to understand the production regimes that arise in warehouse work under different economic and regulatory conditions. Using qualitative data gathered at four European warehouses owned by the same third-party logistics firm, the authors identify several distinct types of production regimes at these warehouses and analyze the conditions accounting for each. Even in this globally oriented industry in which firms seek to standardize their international operations, locally rooted conditions play a significant role, generating sharply different forms of labor control even within the same firm.
