    Winner of the Society for the Anthropology of Work book prize 2017 This volume presents a global range of ethnographic case studies to explore the ways in which - in the context of the restructuring of industrial work, the ongoing financial crisis, and the surge in unemployment and precarious employment - local and global actors engage with complex social processes and devise ideological, political, and economic responses to them. It shows how the reorganization and re-signification of work, notably shifts in the perception and valorization of work, affect domestic and community arrangements and shape the conditions of life of workers and their families.

    To what extent is labour mobility in the European Union a threat to the strength of unions? We argue that the combination of cheap labour, workforce heterogeneity, and low unionization among labour immigrants' is a potential challenge for unions. The challenge will be particularly severe if immigrant competition affects natives' propensity to unionize. We examine this claim using Norwegian administrative data in a natural experiment framework. The 2004 EU expansion led to a rapid increase in labour migration to the construction sector. Licensing demands, however, protected some workers from immigrant competition. Comparisons of protected and exposed workers reveal negative labour market effects of the EU expansion for exposed workers, but no effect on union membership. Our results question important theories of unionization and are relevant for research on immigration, political behaviour and collective action.

    Labor unions, chiefly through collective organizing and bargaining, almost universally increase the wages of their members, even after controlling for individual, job, firm, and other characteristics that affect pay (Fang and Verma 2002). This earnings advantage of union workers is known as the union wage premium. The premium differs by country, industry, worker, and the estimated wage premium varies by study methodology, among other factors. This chapter explains the premium’s determinants and charts how they have changed over time, leading to a typically reduced wage effect in recent years relative to decades past. Such changes include globalization, technological change and a rise in the skill premium, a shift toward the service industry, less favorable labor law, and possibly increased opposition toward unions. Methodological challenges and empirical techniques are reviewed, and premium estimates by country/region are presented. An average union wage premium of 0-20% is found based on recent research, with considerable variation depending on the methodology and country under study. The literature focuses on several developed countries, and is limited in a number of developing nations, with data availability being the primary reason. Results from the developing world exhibit more variation, but often fall in line with those from developed countries such as the United States.

    This paper attempts an intercultural reading of the Jesus-Disciple relationship present in the Gospel of John taking the Tamil Śaiva perspective as a distinct hermeneutical approach. The paper presents select principles of ‘union’ represented in the master-disciple relationships of both John and Tiruvācakam and juxtaposes their implications to their respective contexts.

    This paper provides an economic foundation for non-binding mediation to stimulate first collective bargaining agreements, as implemented in British Columbia since 1993. We show that the outcome of first-contract mediation is Pareto efficient and proves immune to the insider-outsider problem of underhiring. We also demonstrate that equilibrium wages and profits under mediation coincide with the Owen values of the corresponding cooperative game with the coalitional structure that follows from unionization.
