Abstract

On the basis of a comparative analysis of market risks (re)distribution between labour and management in public-service outsourcing in Italy and Denmark, this article examines different cross-national patterns of social solidarity in similar encompassing and co-operative employment relations regimes. It seeks to explain why similar inclusive and collaborative systems of public-sector employment relations are not functionally equivalent in preventing labour inequalities under market-making pressure, as predicted by the extant literature. The analysis demonstrates that variation between the countries considered was due to three interrelated factors which mutually reinforced each other in either virtuous (Denmark) or (semi)vicious (Italy) circles: (i) the availability of legislative loopholes; (ii) the cross-sectoral (public/private) organizational structure and strategy of trade unions and (iii) employers’ outward/inward orientation. The findings confirm the capacity of cross-sectoral public/private dynamics to either build or erode solidarity in inclusive systems, and they highlight the importance of incorporating the strategic agency exerted by unions and public employers as a crucial determinant of the granular differences emerging between similar models.

解释供应链中的各种社会团结:外包公共服务中的行为者、机构和市场风险分配
本文在对意大利和丹麦公共服务外包中劳资双方的市场风险(再)分配进行比较分析的基础上,研究了类似的包容与合作雇佣关系制度中不同的跨国社会团结模式。文章试图解释为什么类似的包容性和合作性公共部门雇佣关系制度在防止市场制造压力下的劳动不平等方面并不像现有文献所预测的那样具有同等功能。分析表明,各国之间的差异是由三个相互关联的因素造成的,这三个因素在良性循环(丹麦)或(半)恶性循环(意大利)中相互促进:(i) 是否存在立法漏洞;(ii) 工会的跨部门(公共/私营)组织结构和战略;(iii) 雇主的外向/内向。研究结果证实,跨部门的公共/私营动态有能力在包容性制度中建立或削弱团结,研究结果还强调了将工会和公共雇主的战略机构作为类似模式之间出现细微差别的关键决定因素的重要性。
