Abstract:

Early in 1944 the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) certified Local 22 of the United Cannery, Agricultural, Packing, and Allied Workers of America (UCAPAWA) as the bargaining agent for manufacturing workers at the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJR) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The local was built and largely sustained by the collective actions of African Americans, especially women, who quickly made it the primary institutional locus advancing the racial aspirations of Winston-Salem's black working class. Operating the largest tobacco manufacturing facility in the world and employing a workforce of 12,000, none unionized (Tilley 1948, 1985), RJR vigorously fought the local from its inception.

Abstract:

The 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act empowers the board that administers it, the ALRB, to impose a makewhole remedy on employers who fail to bargain in good faith with their employees' certified union representative. ALRB and court rulings during the first years of the Act made the determination of whether makewhole was appropriate, as well as the calculation of the award, increasingly complicated. The authors argue that these problems are largely responsible for widespread criticism of the ALRB by both unions and employers, as well as for extensive litigation that has delayed the fulfillment of most of the ALRB's makewhole orders. They favor keeping the makewhole remedy, but they suggest changes to rationalize its application and expedite the calculation of awards.

Abstract:

The Canada Labour Relations Board and most of our provincial Boards are protected in the determination of the matters coming before them by « privative clauses ». The author questions the effect of such clauses on the endeavours of the Boards and more directly on their real jurisdiction.

Abstract:

The National Labor Relations Act stands as one of the most influential pieces of labor legislation in the history of the United States. The Act defines the rights and responsibilities of both employers and employees. Furthermore, the National Labor Relations Act makes the State into the chief judicial body regarding labor disputes through the National Labor Relations Board. Chiefly concerned with the circ*mstances that led to the passage and affected the shaping of the Act, factors such as Communist organizing, racial politics of the Deep South, and internal division within the labor movement in the 1920s are examined. Specific case studies include the Auto-Lite Strike in Toledo, Ohio (1934), the Minneapolis Teamster Strike (1934), and the West Coast Longshoremen Strike (1934).

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to appraise the attitudes of agricultural instructors providing village extension services in the northern province of Sri Lanka toward their job in the agriculture extension service. Major findings indicate in the aggregate, agricultural instructors like their job and have a good attitude toward their job. The job factors offering the agricultural instructors the positive attitudes are the communication established between agricultural instructors and various layers of administration, the intrinsic reward of the job itself, and the relationship with co-workers and the working conditions. The job factors offering the negative attitudes was the pay and its adequacy for a comfortable living. Attitudes of agricultural instructors toward the job and its relationship with service were not significantly varied with service.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the county extension agents' perceptions of institutional constraints to the performance of their duties within the Arizona Cooperative Extension System. Study population was 66 county extension agents in the state of Arizona. They were surveyed by mailed questionnaire. Study results indicated, on the average, most of the institutional constraints affect slightly on the county extension agents' work performance. Considerable variation observed among respondents in their perceptions of severity of the constraints. Some of the other important findings include; (1) 4-H agents perceived constraints more severe than Agriculture or Home Economic Agents. (2) County agents perceived more constraints in salary and promotion more severe than county directors. (3) County agents with more than 5 years of service perceived more of the constraints in the area of Personnel Evaluation more severe than agents with 5 years or less service.

Abstract:

In the 1980s, the American meat industry began restructuring both its domestic production methods and the distribution of its processing facilities. Many meat and poultry processing facilities have since been relocated into small rural communities. The red meat industry was once highly-paid and unionized, but now work in both meat and poultry processing is a dangerous, low-paid manufacturing job, heavily reliant on immigrant workers who must turn to local social services to supplement their wages and benefits. In an attempt to discover the manner in which the social relations of a specific locale may be enmeshed with global production, this research explored perceptions of social power and alliances after a rural community became host to a foreign workforce employed by the local poultry processing plant. On-site semi-structured interviews were conducted with sixteen local residents, and a content analysis of the community newspaper was undertaken.The research found that as new production relations were inserted into the community, the society continued to reproduce and social relations remained relatively unchanged. The community's cultural standards and social infrastructure dictate that residents are respectful of authority, extend Christian charity to those less fortunate, and are generally accepting of a community known for low wages, low taxation, and low standards of education. Hegemonic ideologies seem to dictate the goals and beneficiaries of social power, and residents are unable to name any power vectors even in the face of sustained community support of, for example, the company that introduced the immigrant labor into the community. While there are indications of displeasure with the influx of immigrants appearing in the newspaper and the interviews, there are tangible examples that the community was proactive in welcoming the immigrants into their community. Thus, given that the last time elements of the community united around an issue was in the mid-1970s and no other issue has evoked any type of tangible struggle since then, there is no indication that any social alliances will be formed in reaction to changes in the community wrought by the globalization of its economy.

Abstract:

Unelected bureaucrats make a broad range of important policy decisions raising concerns of accountability in a democratic society. Many classics in the literature highlight the need to understand agency decisions at stages prior to the final vote by agency appointees, but few studies of the bureaucracy do so. To this point, scholars have treated the issue of shirking as one where laziness and inefficiency are the driving forces. However, it is more realistic to expect that shirking comes in the form of ideological resistance by administrators. I develop a theory that the independence afforded to the bureaucracy is functionally comparable to that of the judiciary, allowing for the insertion of individual attitudinal preferences by bureaucrats. Drawing from the attitudinal model of judicial research, I look at whether attitudes affect the decision making of administrative law judges at the National Labor Relations Board, the influence administrative law judge decisions have on reviewing bodies, and whether attitudinal decision making can be controlled by external political and legal actors. Results demonstrate that Democratic judges are more likely than Republican judges to rule for labor in unfair labor practice cases, administrative law judge decisions provide the basis for subsequent decisions of reviewing bodies, and that few political and legal controls exist over this set of bureaucrats. This research provides evidence that lower level bureaucrats make decisions based on their own political preferences and that these preferences have far ranging consequences for policy and law.

Resumo: O objetivo deste texto é investigar as diferentes frações da classe trabalhadora subordinada ao capital agroindustrial no complexo citrícola paulista: pequenos produtores familiares de laranjas, assalariados rurais e assalariados industriais. Propomo-nos analisar as continuidades e descontinuidades sociais e políticas existentes entre estas diferentes frações, com o propósito de apreender a classe trabalhadora que compõe este complexo enquanto uma totalidade concreta. Para tanto, destacaremos e analisaremos trechos de entrevistas com múltiplos sujeitos que têm seu sobre trabalho explorado pelo capital agroindustrial citrícola no estado de São Paulo: pequenos produtores de laranjas que mantêm seu modo de vida e trabalho familiares; pequenos produtores de laranjas em acentuado processo de proletarização; pequenos proprietários ou posseiros migrantes que se assalariam periodicamente em lavouras paulistas; assalariados rurais manuais com e sem registro em carteira; operadores de máquinas agrícolas e transportadores de laranjas às agroindústrias; trabalhadores de chão de fábrica terceirizados ou efetivos, safristas ou permanentes. A partir da reprodução de citações o mais próxima possível à fala destes trabalhadores entrevistados, buscaremos analisar as tendências e contra-tendências de sua consciência a respeito das contradições a que estão submetidos e as múltiplas estratégias coletivas e individuais por eles acionadas para contorná-las
Abstract: The aim of this dissertation is to investigate different fractions of the working class subordinated to capital within the citric agroindustrial complex in São Paulo. We intend to analyze the social and political continuities and discontinuities among family citriculturists, rural wage workers and industrial wage workers. To do so, we will transcribe and examine interviews with multiple subjects exploited by the citric agroindustrial capital: small citriculturists who maintain their family way of work and life; small citriculturists in intensive process of proletarianization; squatters who periodically migrate to become wage earners in São Paulo; rural laborers and agricultural machine operators; truck drivers who transport oranges into the industries; industrial workers hired permanently or temporarily, etc. We will analyze the tendencies and counter-tendencies of their speech regarding the contradictions to which they are submitted, as well as the collective and individual strategies which they mobilize in response

Resumo: A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo a análise das implicações da mecanização do corte da cana-de-açúcar para os trabalhadores e as trabalhadoras dos canaviais paulistas, principalmente quanto ao processo e às relações de trabalho. A recente intensificação da mecanização do corte da cana, ao mesmo tempo em que reduz postos de trabalho, representa piora no processo de trabalho do corte manual. Em entrevistas realizadas junto a trabalhadores da agroindústria canavieira residentes no município de Barrinha - SP, situado na região de Ribeirão Preto, procuramos reconstituir suas histórias de vida e representações acerca desse processo. Buscou-se também mapear as mobilidades espaciais e ocupacionais desses trabalhadores, tendo em vista apontar as tendências desses deslocamentos e seus significados
Abstract: This research aims to analyze the implications of the mechanization of sugarcane harvest for workers in the São Paulo sugarcane fields, especially regarding the process and labor relations. The recent intensification of the mechanization process of the sugar cane harvest, while reducing jobs, is worsening the working process of manual harvest. In interviews with the workers of sugarcane agribusiness residents in the city of Barrinha-SP, in the region of RibeirãoPreto, we tried to reconstruct their life stories and representations of this process. We attempted to also map the spatial and occupational mobility of these workers, in order to point out the trends of these dislocations and their meanings.

Resumo: Neste trabalho, nosso objetivo consiste em analisar os aspectos fundamentais da ação do Sindicato de Empregados Rurais de Cosmópolis, município localizado no interior do Estado de São Paulo, diante da intensificação da mecanização da colheita da cana-de-açúcar pela Usina Açucareira Ester S/A na década de 2000. Este sindicato logrou uma ação reivindicativa relevante junto aos trabalhadores canavieiros no final dos anos 1990, a qual culminou na implantação de um sistema de controle da produção no corte da cana denominado Quadra Fechada, que tinha como característica principal a presença constante do sindicato nos locais de trabalho. No entanto, a expansão da colheita mecanizada e o aumento do desemprego entre os assalariados rurais afetaram negativamente a organização sindical destes trabalhadores, na medida em que resultaram no distanciamento entre estes e seus dirigentes sindicais e no desaparecimento da atividade sindical nos locais de trabalho. Para compreender a ação do SER-Cosmópolis, que incorporou alguns elementos do discurso neoliberal, analisamos a sua inserção junto aos trabalhadores, as orientações político-ideológicas de suas lideranças, as táticas e formas de luta escolhidas em resposta ao atual contexto de desemprego, assim como a forma como os trabalhadores a enxergam. Realizamos uma pesquisa qualitativa que contemplou a leitura da bibliografia pertinente ao tema, a consulta de documentos sindicais e entrevistas semiestruturadas com os trabalhadores canavieiros, com os funcionários do corpo gerencial da Usina Ester e com lideranças do SER-Cosmópolis
Abstract: In this work, our goal is to analyze the fundamental aspects of the action of the Rural Workers Trade Union of Cosmópolis, a municipality in Sao Paulo State, after the intensification of mechanization in sugarcane harvesting process in Ester Sugar Mill S/A in the 2000s. The union achieved a significant share of the demands of the sugarcane harvesting workers in the late 90s, assuring the establishment of a system of production control in the sugarcane fields called Quadra Fechada (Closed Court), which had as it main feature the constant presence of the union at workplace. However, the expansion of mechanized harvesting and rising unemployment among rural workers negatively affected their trade union organization, creating a gap between them and their union leaders and disappearing the trade union activity at workplace. To understand the action of Rural Workers Trade Union of Cosmópolis - which adopted some elements of neoliberal discourse - we analyze its relationship to sugarcane harvesting workers, the politicalideological orientation of its leaders, their tactics and forms of struggle chosen in response to the current context of unemployment as well as how workers see their union and leaders. We performed a qualitative study that included the reading of the pertinent literature, consultation of union documents and conducting semi-structured interviews with sugarcane workers and employees of the management of Ester Sugar Mill and leaders of the Rural Workers Trade Union of Cosmópolis

Resumo: Partindo de um estudo de caso, focalizado na Usina Açucareira Ester S.A. (localizada em Cosmópolis, interior de São Paulo), a presente pesquisa tem como objetivo central a análise do Quadra fechada, um sistema alternativo de aferição da quantidade de cana cortada, que foi implantado somente na referida usina, em 1998, após um processo de negociação entre a mesma e o Sindicato dos Empregados Rurais de Cosmópolis. Assim, ao longo da dissertação, são abordadas temáticas relacionadas ao Quadra fechada, tais como: a histórica reivindicação dos trabalhadores assalariados rurais para controlarem sua produção, demanda essa de extrema importância e que está intimamente associada ao pagamento por produção, forma de remuneração que atrela o salário dos trabalhadores rurais à quantidade de cana cortada por eles. A pesquisa teve como base a perspectiva relacional, e buscou analisar as estratégias dos diferentes agentes sociais envolvidos com o Quadra fechada, quais sejam: os representantes da Usina Ester, seus cortadores de cana, e os dirigentes do Sindicato dos Empregados Rurais de Cosmópolis. Juntamente com as entrevistas realizadas, buscou-se observar as práticas e as condutas dos agentes sociais, observações essas que serviram como aporte para todo o trabalho de contextualização dos relatos colhidos
Abstract: Based on a fieldwork case developed at the Ester S.A. sugar cane mills (at Cosmópolis, countryside of São Paulo State, Brazil) the research presented here has as a central goal the analyses of Quadra Fechada (closed court), that is an alternative system to measure the total quantity of cane cut. This measurement system is working solely at Ester S.A. and is the result of a negotiation between the industry and the Rural Workers Union of Cosmópolis in 1998. Therefore, will be part of this thesis subject some kind of discussion and debates related to Quadra Fechada as for example: The historical cane cutters claim for controlling their production, that is an extremely important demand because deals directly with the system that associates the payment amount with production quantity; and also the debate of the system itself that directly relate payment amount with the quantity of cane cut. Besides that the research was built at a relational perspective made clear by the analyses of the different social agents involved with Quadra Fechada strategies as: Ester Mills representatives, its sugar cane cutters, and the Rural Workers Union leaders. The main interest was to observe the practices and conducts/manners of the social agents at the fieldwork. Those observations were of tremendous importance as they served as contribuition to the hole contextualization of the reports collected as interviews or orally

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the impact of the Great War on Kentucky’s economy. It covers efforts to increase agricultural production, encouraged by state commissioner of agriculture Mat Cohen and state extension agent Fred Mutchler. Coal, oil, and hemp production increased. Under the direction of University of Kentucky president Frank McVey, the state office of the US Employment Service tried to ensure adequate labor supplies, especially for agriculture and the construction of Camp Knox. Other topics covered in this chapter include effects on the horse-racing industry and other sports entertainment. The chapter concludes with an examination of industrial labor relations during the war, as reflected by cases in Louisville brought before the National War Labor Board.

Abstract:

This chapter explores challenges to maintaining strong bargaining units posed by threats of attrition, either through formal decertification or by other means producing similar outcomes. It first documents trends in numerical attrition at Sidhu & Sons, in the context of Canada's introduction of other more highly deregulated temporary migrant work programs (TMWPs) operating in agriculture and those programs' subsequent growth. The size of the bargaining unit at Sidhu, comprised of SAWP employees exclusively, shrank after certain employees' attempt to decertify it, despite the fact that the Labour Relations Board (LRB) had refused to cancel its certification. Given the absence of an active attempt to decertify the bargaining unit, it is nevertheless difficult to determine how attrition continued at Sidhu. To demonstrate the how of this often subtle modality of deportability, the chapter then chronicles strategies fostering attrition in the bargaining unit encompassing SAWP employees at Floralia Plant Growers Ltd., which the union originally tried to draw into the foregoing complaint of unfair labor practices and coercion and intimidation directed at Sidhu.
