This article argues that Neo-liberal policies of both action and inaction support the most virulent form of globalized Finance Capitalism. It outlines how such promotion is structured to reinforce fifteen patterns of economic consequences that reduce the standard of living of the great majority of American families, especially those headed by and including workers. These consequential patterns do not usually result from a single government action, but rather from reinforcements of specific decisions with one another. As a result political and economic elites from the United States become indifferent or worse to working family welfare, constituting an abandonment of Americans as individuals, sacrificed to the promotion and rehabilitation of the financial sector and wealth inequality. In turn, the fifteen consequential patterns cascade toward recurring depressions by stagnating real aggregate demand for production.
本文认为,作为和不作为的新自由主义政策都支持全球化金融资本主义最致命的形式。它概述了这种促进是如何构建的,以加强15种经济后果的模式,这些模式降低了绝大多数美国家庭的生活水平,特别是那些由工人领导并包括工人在内的家庭。这些相应的模式通常不是由单一的政府行为产生的,而是由特定决策的相互强化而产生的。结果,来自美国的政治和经济精英对工薪家庭的福利变得漠不关心,甚至更糟,这构成了对美国人作为个体的抛弃,为促进和恢复金融部门和财富不平等而牺牲。反过来,这15种相应的模式通过停滞生产的实际总需求而导致反复出现的萧条。

Waging War on 'Unemployables'? Race, Low-Wage Work, and Minimum Wages: The New Evidence 向“失业者”宣战?种族、低工资工作和最低工资:新证据

Capturing both popular and academic imaginations, recent literature contributions contest the standard treatment of minimum wage statutes as vehicles that enlarge the economic and social dislocation of vulnerable workers. A persistent strain of the current scholarship dedicated to progressive labor ideology implies that minimum wages or, alternatively, living wage statutes are necessary to preclude the degradation of low-wage workers. The publication of Simon Deakin and Frank Wilkinson’s recent article, Minimum Wage Legislation, constitutes yet another effort to destabilize the neoclassical consensus that emphasizes the adverse employment effects of wage regulation. Prescinding from orthodox economic analysis, Deakin and Wilkinson insist that there is a good efficiency-based case for minimum wage legislation. If the authors are correct, and if efficiency standing alone supports their normative viewpoint, then the contention that such legislation ought to be seen as a societal good might become tenable. Unfortunately, their claims are highly doubtful. Perceived through the lenses of American labor history, classical liberalism, Critical Race Theory and neoclassical economics, the authors’ allegations signify the capitulation of reasoned analysis to ideology. Rather than supporting the interest of the public or of vulnerable workers, their starkly conventional and progressive approach to labor law reform recalls John Stuart Mill’s embrace of Social Darwinism and consequent exclusion of inferior classes of workers. The authors’ approach also verifies Mill’s observation that modern liberal democracy - operating consistently with the goals of exclusion - is insufficient to protect disfavored groups and individuals from the coercive power authorized by a majority or its hierarchs. Since Deakin and Wilkinson’s credulous claims are in harmony with more than a century of progressive policies, and since the normative and prudential case for raising or retaining the minimum wage remains weak, marginalized members of society have much to fear from their analysis.
最近的一些文学作品抓住了大众和学术界的想象力,对最低工资法规的标准对待提出了质疑,认为它加剧了弱势工人的经济和社会混乱。当前致力于进步劳工意识形态的学术研究的持续压力表明,最低工资或生活工资法规对于防止低工资工人的退化是必要的。西蒙·迪肯(Simon Deakin)和弗兰克·威尔金森(Frank Wilkinson)最近发表的文章《最低工资立法》(Minimum Wage Legislation),构成了另一项破坏新古典主义共识的努力,该共识强调工资监管对就业的不利影响。与正统的经济分析不同,迪肯和威尔金森坚持认为,最低工资立法有一个基于效率的良好案例。如果作者是正确的,如果效率本身就支持他们的规范性观点,那么这种立法应该被视为一种社会利益的论点可能是站得住脚的。不幸的是,他们的说法非常值得怀疑。从美国劳工史、古典自由主义、批判种族理论和新古典经济学的角度来看,作者的主张表明理性分析向意识形态投降。他们没有支持公众或弱势工人的利益,而是对劳动法改革采取了明显的传统和进步的方式,让人想起约翰·斯图尔特·穆勒(John Stuart Mill)对社会达尔文主义的信奉,并因此排斥了下层工人阶级。作者的方法也证实了密尔的观察,即现代自由民主——始终以排斥为目标——不足以保护不受欢迎的群体和个人免受多数人或其等级所授权的强制权力的侵害。由于迪肯和威尔金森的轻信主张与一个多世纪以来的进步政策是一致的,而且由于提高或保留最低工资的规范和审慎理由仍然薄弱,社会边缘化成员对他们的分析有很多担忧。

Negotiating the People's Capital Revisited 重新审视人民资本谈判
Pub Date : 2011-05-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1837437
S. Estreicher
Editor's Note: What follows is the second part of an unofficial transcript of an off-the-record conversation among three of the labor movement's leading strategists. (The first installment appeared under the title “Strategy for Labor,” 22 J. Labor Research 569 (Summer 2001), and has been updated as “Strategy for Labor Revisited,” available www.ssrn.com). This second meeting was also convened by C, or "cooperationist," who had been for over ten years the president of a local union, part of a major industrial union, representing 3,000 employees who had been hired to staff a new manufacturing plant in a Southern town ("Newplant"). Newplant had been widely touted as a breakthrough in U.S. labor-management relations because it was consciously designed to promote greater participation of production and maintenance workers in business decisions and a “partnership” role role for union officials alongside traditional management officials. In bitterly contested local elections last year, C was voted out of office and now serves in a staff capacity at the AFL-CI0. A, or "adversarialist," perhaps surprisingly a longstanding friend of C, is the research director of another industrial union. A was very active in the Students for A Democratic Society in the 1960s, and after graduating from Oberlin College began his career as a labor organizer, working for a succession of unions that had been active in the McGovern-Kucinich wing of the Democratic Party. S, or "stay the course," is the highly respected chief of staff for a national union representing government workers. Section headings and parenthetical references are supplied by the editor and do not appear in the original transcript.
编者按:以下是三名劳工运动主要战略家的非正式谈话的第二部分。(第一部分的标题是“劳动战略”,22 J. Labor Research 569(2001年夏季),并已更新为“劳动战略重访”,可访问www.ssrn.com)。第二次会议也是由C(或“合作者”)召集的,他作为一个地方工会的主席已经十多年了,该工会是一个主要工业工会的一部分,代表了3000名被雇佣到南方城镇一家新制造工厂(“新工厂”)的员工。新工厂被广泛吹捧为美国劳资关系的突破,因为它有意识地促进生产和维修工人在商业决策中的更多参与,以及工会官员与传统管理官员之间的“伙伴关系”角色。在去年竞争激烈的地方选举中,C被赶下台,现在在劳联- ci0担任职员。A,或“对手”,也许令人惊讶的是,他是C的老朋友,是另一个产业工会的研究主管。20世纪60年代,A在学生争取民主社会组织中非常活跃,从奥伯林学院毕业后,他开始了自己的劳工组织者生涯,为一系列活跃于民主党麦戈文-库西尼奇派的工会工作。S的意思是“坚持到底”,他是一个代表政府工作人员的全国工会的备受尊敬的参谋长。章节标题和括号引用是由编辑提供的,不会出现在原始成绩单中。

Express Yourself: Striking a Balance between Silence and Active, Purposive Opposition Under Title VII’s Antiretaliation Provision 表达自己:在第七章的反报复条款下,在沉默与积极、有目的的反对之间取得平衡
Pub Date : 2010-08-18 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1661258
Matthew Green
This article examines where to draw the line for opposition to be actionable under the anti-retaliation provision of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The article examines the issue by using Crawford v. Metropolitan Government of Nashville & Davidson County, 129 S.Ct. 846 (2009), as the backdrop to engage in a broader discussion on the topic. Scholars have not yet explored the extent to which Crawford allows courts, litigants and others to think in new ways about the opposition clause of Title VII and similarly worded anti-discrimination statutes. This article takes on that task. The article calls for striking a balance between extremes. Crawford suggests in dicta that under its plain meaning, the term oppose may embrace opposition by “opinion,” and lower courts and commentators have pondered whether Crawford opens the door to silent opposition. The article rejects such a reading of Title VII after examining the language, context, structure and purposes of the statute. The article, however, also examines and rejects the active, purposive standard of opposition that Justice Alito advocated in his Crawford concurrence and that lower courts pre- and post-Crawford have adopted. The article demonstrates that the active, purposive standard is inconsistent with the plain language of the statute, ignores authority that has long sanctioned unintentional opposition, exacerbates existing gaps in protection that feminist scholars and others have recognized exist for victims of unlawful workplace harassment, and rests on irrelevant policy considerations. The article cogently argues that the statutory term “has opposed” contemplates an expression from which an employer may infer or interpret opposition and proscribes employers from discriminating on the basis of that expression. Such a definition embraces a swath of opposition from words, action and in proper circumstances even inaction. Crawford has opened doors to new ways of thinking about opposition under Title VII and similarly worded statutes, and this article begins that important discussion.
本文探讨了在1964年《民权法案》第七章的反报复条款下,反对的可诉性的界限在哪里。本文通过克劳福德诉纳什维尔和戴维森县市政府案(129 S.Ct)来考察这个问题。以846(2009)为背景,对该主题进行更广泛的讨论。学者们还没有探讨克劳福德在多大程度上允许法院、诉讼当事人和其他人以新的方式思考第七章的反对条款和类似措辞的反歧视法规。本文承担了这个任务。这篇文章呼吁在两个极端之间保持平衡。克劳福德在他的口述中指出,“反对”一词在其简单的含义下可能包含了“意见”的反对,下级法院和评论人士一直在思考,克劳福德是否为沉默的反对打开了大门。该条在审查了规约的语言、上下文、结构和宗旨之后,拒绝对第七章作出这种解读。然而,这篇文章也审查并拒绝了阿利托大法官在他的克劳福德案中所倡导的积极的、有目的的反对标准,以及在克劳福德案之前和之后的下级法院所采用的反对标准。本文表明,主动的、有目的的标准与法规的明确语言不一致,忽视了长期以来认可无意反对的权威,加剧了女权主义学者和其他人已经认识到的对非法工作场所骚扰受害者存在的保护差距,并且依赖于无关的政策考虑。该条令人信服地指出,法定用语“已反对”考虑到一种表达,雇主可从中推断或解释反对意见,并禁止雇主基于这种表达进行歧视。这样的定义包含了一系列的反对意见,包括言辞、行动,在适当的情况下甚至是不作为。克劳福德打开了一扇大门,让人们以新的方式思考第七章和类似措辞的法规下的反对意见,本文开始了这一重要的讨论。

Contracting Mediation: The Impact of Different Statutory Regimes 契约调解:不同法律制度的影响
Pub Date : 1999-03-29 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.156888
E. Dannin
The United States is commited to increasing institutionalized use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), most often based on the claim that it is superior to and different from traditional litigation. Mediation in particular is supposed in the popular view to be user-friendly, nonadversarial, and conducive to optimal, wholistic resolutions. Litigation, in contrast, is supposed to be slow, costly to all, impersonal, formal, legalistic, and incapable of giving complete or satisfactory resolutions. This implicitly assumes that ADR and litigation are discrete processes, each with uniform and intrinsic natures. This, in turn suggests an assumption that they retain these qualities under all circumstances. In this popularized, Manichean, and romanticized view, ADR and, in particular mediation, possesses uniformly positive qualities and litigation uniformly negative ones. This paradigm has come to infuse our current system of justice, including the courts, the legislature, and even legal education. The pervasive acceptance of this viewpoint has serious consequences for how justice is to be administered in the United States for the foreseeable future. This article uses a case study in which a mediation procedure remained the same while the substantive law was changed. It examines whether, although the mediation procedures have remained the same, the experience of mediation has altered.
美国致力于增加替代性争端解决机制(ADR)的制度化使用,这通常基于其优于传统诉讼并与传统诉讼不同的主张。在流行的观点中,调解尤其应该是用户友好的,非对抗性的,有利于最佳的,整体的解决方案。相比之下,诉讼被认为是缓慢的,对所有人来说都是昂贵的,客观的,正式的,法律主义的,不能给出完整的或令人满意的解决方案。这隐含地假设ADR和诉讼是离散的过程,每个过程都具有统一和内在的性质。这反过来又暗示了一种假设,即他们在任何情况下都能保持这些品质。在这种普及的、摩尼教式的、浪漫化的观点中,ADR,特别是调解,具有一致的积极品质,而诉讼具有一致的消极品质。这种模式已经渗透到我们目前的司法体系中,包括法院、立法机构,甚至法律教育。对这一观点的普遍接受对美国在可预见的未来如何执行司法产生了严重的影响。本文使用了一个案例研究,其中调解程序保持不变,而实体法发生了变化。它审查了尽管调解程序保持不变,但调解的经验是否发生了变化。

Employer Reputation at Work 雇主在工作中的声誉
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1314257
S. Estreicher
Employer reputational costs - that is, the loss in value of the firm's reputational assets if the firm reneges on its promises to workers, both express and implied, - has played an important role in the economic literature of employment contracts, but this factor has itself generated little sustained analysis. Reputation is often offered as a late-appearing deus ex machina explaining why opportunistic behavior by employers even in internal labor markets is likely to be relatively unimportant. This standard explanation for the enforceability of implicit labor contracts in internal labor markets is problematic for at least three reasons. It assumes a well-functioning market in information about past and projected firm behavior, for a loss in employer reputation can only occur if job applicants from the external labor market are able readily to distinguish between "opportunistic" behavior (where, say, a termination of employment reflects an employer's reneging on implied promises of deferred compensation or late-career immunity from close monitoring of performance) and legitimate behavior (where a discharge reflects an appropriate response to shirking on the job or unforeseen business conditions). Second, the reputational-loss account is a static one; it assumes that employers in the first period (when they make the implied promise of deferred compensation or late-career job security) are in the same product market position in the later period (when they are expected to perform these implied promises). If the employer in the later period has disappeared, operates in a different product market, or has a need for workers with a different skill mix than in the first period, it will become even more difficult for job applicants in the external labor market to evaluate whether the firm's past behavior is a good predictor of their probable job experience with that firm. Finally, the explanation also makes certain problematic assumptions about how workers process information. The deficiencies of the standard explanation require either a reconsideration of implied labor market theory, or if implied labor market arrangements remain economically desirable an identification and possible strengthening of institutions that might enhance the firm's reputational costs in breaking promises to workers.
雇主声誉成本——即,如果公司违背对工人的承诺(包括明示的和暗示的),公司声誉资产的价值损失——在雇佣合同的经济学文献中发挥了重要作用,但这一因素本身几乎没有产生持续的分析。声誉常常被当作一种姗姗来迟的解药,解释为什么雇主的机会主义行为,甚至在内部劳动力市场也可能相对不重要。这种对内部劳动力市场隐性劳动合同可执行性的标准解释存在问题,原因至少有三个。它假设有一个关于过去和未来企业行为信息的运作良好的市场,因为雇主声誉的损失只有在外部劳动力市场的求职者能够很容易地区分“机会主义”行为(比如,雇佣关系的终止反映了雇主违背了对延迟补偿或职业生涯后期免于密切监视的隐含承诺)和合法行为(解雇反映了对工作上的逃避或不可预见的业务状况的适当反应)。其次,声誉损失账户是静态的;它假设雇主在第一阶段(当他们做出延期补偿或职业生涯后期工作保障的隐含承诺时)在后期(当他们被期望履行这些隐含承诺时)处于相同的产品市场地位。如果后期的雇主消失了,经营不同的产品市场,或者需要与第一阶段不同技能组合的工人,那么对于外部劳动力市场的求职者来说,评估公司过去的行为是否能很好地预测他们在该公司的工作经历将变得更加困难。最后,该解释还对工人如何处理信息做出了某些有问题的假设。标准解释的缺陷需要重新考虑隐含的劳动力市场理论,或者如果隐含的劳动力市场安排在经济上仍然是可取的,那么就需要识别并可能加强制度,这些制度可能会增加企业在违背对工人的承诺时的声誉成本。
