ARTICLES INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY: AMERICA'S UNFULFILLED PROMISE* CLYDE W. SUMMERS"* I. THE PROMISE MADE N 1797, WHEN ALBERT GALLATIN, LATER SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, established a profit sharing plan in his glass works, he declared, "The democratic principle on which this nation was founded should not be restricted to the political process, but should be applied to the industrial operation as well."' The theme that our system of political democracy should be matched by a system of industrial democracy has been an irrepressible one in our history.2 This theme is not ours alone, for in every political democracy there is recognition that decisions of the work place may be more important to the worker than decisions in the legislative halls.3 Democratic principles demand that workers have a voice in the decisions that control their working lives; human dignity requires that workers not be subject to oppressive conditions or arbitrary actions.

  • The Power Resources Approach: Developments and Challenges

    The Power Resources Approach: Developments and Challenges

    The Power Resources Approach: Developments and Challenges Stefan Schmalz, Friedrich Schiller University, Germany Carmen Ludwig, Justus Liebig University, Germany Edward Webster, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa Introduction Instead of dismissing labour as a product of the past, the study of labour has been revitalised over the past two decades by approaches that emphasise the ability of organised labour to act strategically. This new branch of research on trade union renewal has challenged the discourse of a general decline of organised labour, focusing instead on innovative organising strategies, new forms of participation and campaigning in both the Global North and the Global South (Turner, Katz and Hurd, 2001; Clawson, 2003; Milkman, 2006; Agarwala, 2013; Murray, 2017). The focus of these studies has not been the institutional setting of labour relations or the overall impact of major trends like globalisation on labour, but rather the strategic choice in responding to new challenges and changing contexts. In the discussion on trade union renewal, the power resources approach (PRA) has emerged as a research heuristic. The PRA is founded on the basic premise that organised labour can successfully defend its interests by collective mobilisation of power resources. This idea has significantly shaped the way scholars are dealing with the issue of union revitalisation and labour conflict, as studies from different world regions have examined union renewal as a process of utilising existing power resources while attempting to develop new ones (Von Holdt and Webster, 2008; Chun, 2009; Dörre, 2010a; McCallum, 2013; Julian, 2014; Melleiro and Steinhilber, 2016; Lehndorff, Dribbusch and Schulten, 2017; Ludwig and Webster, 2017; Xu and Schmalz, 2017).

Matthew Smith* We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Martin Luther King, Jr.' I. INTRODUCTION In many ways, the story of labor relations in South Africa has run lockstep with the story of apartheid.2 The earliest of its labor laws were enacted for the benefit of white laborers only-and worked to the detriment of black laborers The Mines and Works Act of 1911, for example, established quotas for black and white workers4 and reserved certain better paying jobs in the mines for whites only.'

    GLOSSARY of COLLECTIVE BARGAINING TERMS and OTHER LABOR RELATED TOPICS ABEYANCE – The placement of a pending grievance (or motion) by mutual agreement of the parties, outside the specified time limits until a later date when it may be taken up and processed. ABOOD v. DETROIT BOARD OF EDUCATION – The legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court, on May 23, 1977, ruled unanimously (9–0) that agency-shop (or union-shop) clauses in the collective- bargaining agreements of public-sector unions cannot be used to compel nonunion employees to fund political or ideological activities of the union to which they object. The Court nevertheless held, by a 6–3 majority, that nonunion employees in the public sector may be required to fund union activities related to “collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment purposes.” This case was overturned by the Supreme Court’s ruling in June 2018 on Janus v. AFSCME. ACTION - Direct action occurs when any group of union members engage in an action, such as a protest, that directly exposes a problem, or a possible solution to a contractual and/or societal issue. Union members engage in such actions to spotlight an injustice with the goal of correcting it. It further mobilizes the membership to work in concerted fashion for their own good and improvement.

THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE OF THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY IN THE AFTERMATH OF AB 5 Natalie Kalbakian* The video game industry is a rapidly growing and lucrative entertain- ment market. It has played an immense role in shaping the consumption of media. However, the reality of working conditions for the industry labor force largely behind these innovations is much less impressive. This Note examines the video game industry as a case study for the potential impact of California Assembly Bill 5 (“AB 5”) on industries that heavily rely on inde- pendent contractors with specialized skill sets.
