Timely Construction: The Effect of Project Labor Agreements on Time to Completion for Public Works Construction in Sacramento County, California
Unique to the construction industry, project labor agreements (PLAs) are pre-hire labor contracts between project owners and unions. The impact of PLAs is debated among industry stakeholders, scholars, and policymakers. While prior research on PLAs has focused on construction costs and bid competition, this is the first known study to assess whether PLAs affect project duration. Through an analysis of 313 public works construction projects in Sac…
Persistent Unpredictability: Analyzing Experiences with the First Statewide Scheduling Legislation in Oregon
Based on 98 in-depth interviews with workers and managers, the authors analyze the effectiveness of Oregon's Fair Workweek Act, the first statewide scheduling legislation. Overall, findings show limited evidence of the law's efficacy to improve workers' schedules. The authors discuss three factors that are likely to explain this shortcoming: lack of adequate funding for education about the law and for enforcement, the inclusion of provisions that…
No Choice but to Be Essential: Expanding Dimensions of Precarity During Covid-19
Under COVID-19, low-wage service sector workers found themselves as essential workers vulnerable to intensified precarity. Based on in-depth interviews with a sample of 52 low-wage service workers interviewed first in Summer 2019 and then in the last two weeks of April 2020, we argue that COVID-19 has created new and heightened dimensions of precarity for low-wage workers. They experience (1) moments of what we call precarious stability, in which…

A total of 16 percent of hourly workers and 36 percent of workers paid on some other basis experience unstable work schedules due to irregular, on-call, rotating, or split shifts, which negatively impact workers’ ability to manage family responsibilities, finances, and health. Primarily drawing on data from in-depth interviews conducted in Oregon in 2016, this study expands research on how workers navigate through “bad jobs” by exploring the ways…
Dissonant Discourses in Institutional Communications on Sexual Violence
This article is a discourse analysis of a large Northwestern research university's official communications regarding sexual violence for a 15-month time frame. Through close reading of these communications, we found that concurrent with high levels of criticism in the spring of 2014 over the university's handling of a high-profile rape case, the university advanced dissonant discourses of risk and responsibility in its communications regarding se…
