Workers as climate actors
Climate change is an existential threat requiring mitigation and adaptation efforts likely to affect workers, their workplaces and their communities. The introduction to this thematic issue of Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research explores how workers and their unions become climate actors. In addition to presenting the seven studies featured in this issue, we identify cross-cutting themes emerging from them. These include: the importa…
How do workers and their unions become climate actors? A research framework
This article develops a research framework for understanding workers and their unions as strategic actors in the climate transition, emphasising the centrality of their agency. While climate change poses profound challenges such as job losses, work reorganisation, and health risks, workers are often described as passive recipients of state or employer-led decisions. We conceptualise union engagement along two dimensions: the strategies they pursu…

Introduction
Partant du principe que l’amélioration du travail contribue à l’amélioration des sociétés, le défi qu’entend mettre en évidence l’introduction de ce numéro spécial de Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, consiste à déterminer ce qui rend le travail meilleur, ou pire, et comment il est possible de l’améliorer. Alors que des expériences très variées contribuent à façonner l’avenir de nos économies et de nos communautés, l’un des princi…
Introduction. Making work better
From the premise that better work makes for better societies, the challenge, taken up in the introduction to this special issue of Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, is to explore what makes work better, or worse, and how it can be improved. As a wide variety of experiments shape our economies and communities for the future, a key challenge is to engage in shared learning about these processes in order to stimulate a dialogue betwe…
What makes work better or worse? An analytical framework
This article seeks to advance our thinking about better and worse work by developing a novel framework for assessing the quality of work and its implications. It does so in terms of the wider literature on job quality, while addressing the need to embrace a broader agenda and a more dynamic understanding of how to make worse work better. To this end it presents a three-dimensional framework: risk, autonomy and expressiveness. The framework assess…
L’expérimentation institutionnelle au travail, pour le meilleur (ou pour le pire)
Dans différents contextes nationaux, institutionnels et organisationnels, et dans un contexte d’incertitude, diverses formes d’organisation de travailleurs, anciennes et nouvelles, mènent des expérimentations en réponse aux lignes de fracture majeures des changements auxquelles elles sont confrontées. L’introduction de ce numéro spécial se concentre sur ces processus: la disruption des formes traditionnelles de régulation du travail et de l’emplo…
Disruption and re-regulation in work and employment
This article proposes experimentation as a framework for understanding actor agency in the changing regulation of work and employment. This involves contrasting institutional change with organisational and institutional experimentation approaches in order to understand how, in the context of uncertainty, actors in the world of work experiment with new ways of organising and seek to institutionalise them into new understandings, norms and rules. T…
Einleitung
In unterschiedlichen nationalen, institutionellen und organisationalen Kontexten und unter ungewissen Bedingungen versuchen traditionelle und neue Arbeitnehmerorganisationen Antworten auf die Frage zu finden, wie mit den großen Konfliktlinien der Veränderungen umzugehen ist, mit denen sie konfrontiert werden. Die Einleitung zu dieser Themenausgabe befasst sich vorrangig mit diesem Prozess des Experimentierens: der Disruption traditioneller Formen…
Introduction
In different national, institutional and organisational contexts, and in conditions of uncertainty, worker organisations, old and new, are experimenting in response to the major fault lines of change they face. This introduction to the special issue focuses on these processes of experimentation: the disruption of traditional forms of regulation of work and employment; how a variety of actors are engaged in experimentation about the governance of …
State accumulation projects and inward investment regimes strategies
State accumulation projects and inward investment regimes strategies. Regional Studies. Based on Kitchener–Waterloo, Ontario, and Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, case studies, we link inward investment regimes (IIR) to the strategic relational approach to the state. The state continues to be significant in (1) selecting multinational enterprise (MNE) value-chain segments; (2) policies maximizing foreign direct investment (FDI) spillovers; (3) em…
Workplace Empowerment and Disempowerment
This study of workplace union delegates in the education sector identifies a typology of the experience of workplace union representatives according to their assessment of their degree of influence in their workplace and their union and their degree of control over their work as a union representative. When combined, these two assessments yield different types of disempowerment and empowerment. While workplace context plays an important role in d…

Discretion in employment relations policy among foreign-controlled multinationals in Canada
This article assesses the extent to which the foreign-controlled subsidiaries of multinational firms have the discretion to establish their employment relations policies. Drawing on a survey of the activities of foreign-controlled multinational companies in Canada, it considers three lines of analysis: the parent company’s country of origin, the subsidiary’s specific organizational capabilities and its position in global value chains. While our r…
Union Status and Double-Breasting at Multinational Companies in Three Liberal Market Economies
The relationships among employee representation, formal union status, and employer strategies within and across institutional regimes offer a variegated landscape in the context of globalization. Key questions remain as to the relative weight of macro- and micro-level influences on union status at subsidiaries of multinational companies (MNCs). This study analyzes data gathered through coordinated surveys of MNC subsidiaries in Canada, Ireland, a…
Understanding union power
Power is at the core of current debates over the future of trade unionism. This article provides a framework to assess the power resources and strategic capabilities central to union capacity building. We identify four key power resources: internal solidarity; network embeddedness; narrative resources that frame understandings and union actions; and infrastructural resources (material, human, processes, policies and programmes). Resources alone a…
Local Union Strategies in Cross-Border Alliances
Do the restructuring of production networks, the decentralization of collective bargaining, and the rearticulation of work sites one to another across borders prompt local unions to engage in cross-border solidarities? Drawing on three cases in Mexico and three cases in Canada, this study identifies three patterns of local union involvement in cross-border alliances: defensive isolationism, risk aversion, and proactive solidarity. Four factors ar…
How Do Unions Renew? Paths to Union Renewal
How are unions responding to change? Are they renewing? Drawing on the CRIMT International Colloquium on Union Renewal, this introductory paper presents the overarching themes in this special thematic issue of Labor Studies Journal. After a synoptic overview of the range of cases and methodological issues highlighted by the papers, three sets of issues are presented: the need to enhance basic union efficiency or instrumentality, the importance of…
Union Disaffection and Social Identity
This article examines union members'evaluation of the relevance of unions and their identification with a traditional collective value frame for union action. It seeks to take account of the impact of increasing labor market heterogeneity, declining instrumentality, and the behavior of unions and employers. Using Canadian data gathered from individual union members and their local union leaders, the study finds that new labor market identities ar…

Local versus Global
Globalization alters the balance of power between unions and em ployers. In decentralized bargaining regimes, local unions are there fore compelled to reexamine the resources that they can mobilize in their power relationships. This article offers a framework to conceptualize the power resources available to local unions. This strategic triangle for local union renewal includes three types of power resources: proactivity or agenda; internal solid…
