Workers without Borders
Author: Ines Wagner
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501729160
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
How the European Union handles posted workers is a growing issue for a region with borders that really are just lines on a map. A 2008 story, dissected in Ines Wagner’s Workers without Borders, about the troubling working conditions of migrant meat and construction workers, exposed a distressing dichotomy: how could a country with such strong employers’ associations and trade unions allow for the establishment and maintenance of such a precarious labor market segment? Wagner introduces an overlooked piece of the puzzle: re-regulatory politics at the workplace level. She interrogates the position of the posted worker in contemporary European labour markets and the implications of and regulations for this position in industrial relations, social policy and justice in Europe. Workers without Borders concentrates on how local actors implement European rules and opportunities to analyze the balance of power induced by the EU around policy issues. Wagner examines the particularities of posted worker dynamics at the workplace level, in German meatpacking facilities and on construction sites, to reveal the problems and promises of European Union governance as regulating social justice. Using a bottom-up approach through in-depth interviews with posted migrant workers and administrators involved in the posting process, Workers without Borders shows that strong labor-market regulation via independent collective bargaining institutions at the workplace level is crucial to effective labor rights in marginal workplaces. Wagner identifies structures of access and denial to labor rights for temporary intra-EU migrant workers and the problems contained within this system for the EU more broadly.

Author: Emerson W. Dias
Publisher: Freitas Bastos Publishing
ISBN: 6556753335
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
Substance over form is an accounting guideline, but it applies to our lives perfectly, after all, what do we seek if not happiness? The realization of our essence? In all the choices we make, conscious of them or not, and even when we do not choose, we only act on what has been assigned to us by life, by circumstance, it is always it that we seek and what does not lead us to it that we avoid. Somehow, we try to realize our essence, and the work, the delivery, the construction, the realization of something, the formation of skills, the character of usefulness for the whole, our contribution, it is given by our work, whether we have chosen it or not, whether we have been vocated or not. The socio-economic context in which we live can become a barrier or a lever for our realization, but under no circumstances will we be able to accomplish something if we do not understand what that something is first. That's what we talk about in this book! About us (our essence), our work (the form) and our circumstances. Here you will find a manual for your career, enjoy your reading!

Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 104030818X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
While the topic of international careers and academia has received significant interest, the real contextual opportunities and barriers remain hidden by a dreadful reality across countries, contexts and international virtual spaces in greater numbers than ever before. This book integrates current debates of exposure to diversity and multiculturalism with different perspectives from authors with academic affiliations in 14 countries. It covers topics on intellectual, language and cultural diversity and offers a theory for the global value chain of academia and for the careers of international scientists. The aim is to achieve a holistic transformation with several possible courses of action useful to all involved in academia. The book also provides an overview of international scientific careers across different career stages based on lived experiences. This type of international geographical mobility needs more than supportive host institutions and requires international networks and relationships of trust. The book is a must-read for all involved in diversity and multiculturalism in higher education in different countries. It provides important insights to those engaged in academia and in international careers as scientists.

Social Science Careers Beyond the Academy
Author: Stacey S. Merola
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000834948
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
Social Science Careers Beyond the Academy provides a “road-map” to a career outside of academia for students of the social sciences who want to transition to a corporate or government environment after they complete their studies. It isn’t always easy to see how the skills you develop in academia will apply to corporate consultancy or research positions, or even to see clearly where these various career paths might lead and whether they might suit you. Are you a start-up person or do you think that a big, established organization will provide you with desirable opportunities? Would you prefer to work for a public or private firm, or perhaps for a government agency? Are you better at research or project management? How do you go about adapting your writing to the nonspecialist audience of colleagues in an organization? This book is written by a team of authors who straddle the line that separates academia from consultancy work and have mentored countless students to make a successful transition to the working world, whether in academia or not. The authors identify and categorize various popular paths that are available to you; describe the types of organization, roles, and what they involve; and show how to map your own skills, personality, and preferences to the jobs you might aspire to obtain. This book is the ultimate guide to building your path to success after you conclude your studies. Using an informal style, this book is ideal for social science students looking to make their next steps after academia by seeking positions in consulting and research firms, or with a government entity.
