Abstract
Abstract Richard Locke, Ben Armstrong, Samantha Schaab-Rozbicki, and Geordie Young speculate that COVID-related challenges might lead firms to shift their assumptions about workers in ways that open up new political-economic possibilities, with benefits for workers in safety, compensation, and voice. I am skeptical about the idea of such COVID-induced learning. Drawing on an analysis of the costs of high turnover in the electronics supply chain, however, I argue that more generous assumptions about workers appear to have operational benefits. Understanding those operational benefits might lead firms to be less resistant to demands from workers for the kinds of jobs that Locke and his coauthors celebrate.
Richard Locke、Ben Armstrong、Samantha Schaab-Rozbicki和Geordie Young推测，与covid相关的挑战可能会导致公司改变对工人的假设，从而开辟新的政治经济可能性，在安全、补偿和发言权方面为工人带来好处。我对这种新冠病毒诱导学习的想法持怀疑态度。然而，根据对电子产品供应链中高流动率成本的分析，我认为，对工人更慷慨的假设似乎对运营有利。了解这些运营上的好处，可能会让公司对工人对洛克和他的合著者所赞美的那种工作的要求不那么抵触。
