Abstract The logistics sector in France is emblematic of contemporary labor processes in the service sector, where working conditions are at the root of a long-term, but silent, health crisis. Although the unionization of French logistics workers has gained some strength since the early 2000s, struggles over wages and working conditions remained segmented and local, and were unable to contain the progressive casualization of the employment or to counter the intensification of work. This article is a reflection on the fragmented and low-intensity conflictuality of the French logistics sector. Drawing on three ethnographic studies and on quantitative data, we analyze labor conflicts in various segments of the warehouse industry during the last decade in France, and identify some of the limits of French trade union strategies toward organizing logistics workers. We show that the massive use of temporary work and the weakness of the efforts made by traditional trade unions federations prevent the emergence of a larger labor movement in the sector. We argue that the fragmentation and the very high turnover that characterizes the French warehouse industry should encourage trade unions to invest more resources, often local and rooted in logistics zones, from outside the workplace.
摘要法国的物流业是服务业当代劳动过程的象征,服务业的工作条件是长期但无声的健康危机的根源。尽管自21世纪初以来,法国物流工人的工会化势头有所增强,但围绕工资和工作条件的斗争仍然是局部的,无法遏制就业的逐步随意化,也无法应对工作的集约化。这篇文章是对法国物流部门碎片化和低强度冲突的反思。根据三项人种学研究和定量数据,我们分析了过去十年法国仓储业各个部门的劳动冲突,并确定了法国工会组织物流工人战略的一些局限性。我们表明,临时工作的大量使用和传统工会联合会努力的薄弱阻碍了该行业出现更大规模的劳工运动。我们认为,法国仓储业的碎片化和极高的营业额应该鼓励工会从工作场所之外投资更多的资源,通常是本地的,植根于物流区。

Abstract The following is an account of my own personal involvement, over the last 20 years, with a circle of militants in California’s San Francisco Bay Area who have been researching changes in the class composition of global production. We have been using informal and formal inquiries with rank-and-file workers to analyze how transformations in communication, data gathering, and transportation technologies have revolutionized the logistics industry. Our goal has been finding supply chain vulnerabilities, where working class solidarity has the greatest possibility to spread up and down these value chains, and for class struggle to be effectively cross-sectoral and international. The following is a balance sheet of our efforts, demonstrating the instances when we were able to realize our goals, as well as critiquing our limitations. We hope this will point to the importance of workers’ inquiries in the current era, especially in adjusting to the many changes the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought, exposing the weaknesses of just-in-time production chains spanning the planet, changes to class composition, and encouraging new forms of class struggle along ever-changing value chains.
在过去的20年里,我亲身参与了加州旧金山湾区的一群激进分子,他们一直在研究全球生产阶级构成的变化。我们一直在对普通员工进行非正式和正式的调查,以分析通信、数据收集和运输技术的变革是如何彻底改变物流业的。我们的目标是找到供应链的弱点,在那里工人阶级团结最有可能在这些价值链上下传播,并使阶级斗争有效地跨部门和国际。以下是我们努力的资产负债表,展示了我们能够实现目标的实例,以及对我们局限性的批评。我们希望这将指出工人质询在当前时代的重要性,特别是在适应COVID-19大流行造成的许多变化,暴露全球准时生产链的弱点,阶级构成的变化,以及在不断变化的价值链上鼓励新形式的阶级斗争方面。

Global Justice Advocacy, Trade Unions, and the Supply Chain Law Initiative in Germany 全球正义倡导、工会和德国供应链法倡议

Abstract This article focuses on the Supply Chain Law Initiative in Germany (SCLI)/Initiative Lieferkettengesetz as a case of global justice advocacy. The SCLI was a campaign by German civil society organizations that advocated for a law that would make it mandatory for corporations active in Germany to respect human, labor, and environmental rights along their supply chains. This research explores the strategies for advocacy used by the SCLI in the process of effective law-making. It also investigates the role of the SCLI in the context of global labor solidarity. The research results show that although this new law has some shortcomings in terms of international human rights standards, it has achieved partial progress as one of the most successful examples of alliance building between unions and civil society organizations in Germany. The SCLI has brought about a paradigm shift from voluntary towards mandatory due diligence. This experience can be carried one step further to accomplish a supply chain law at the European Union level. The authors argue that the SCLI experience opens up a new stage for rethinking the structural dilemma of unions in Germany in choosing between global solidarity and national corporatist social partnership.
摘要本文将德国供应链法律倡议(SCLI)/倡议Lieferktengesetz作为全球司法倡导的一个案例。SCLI是德国民间社会组织发起的一项运动,主张制定一项法律,强制活跃在德国的公司在其供应链中尊重人权、劳工和环境权利。本研究探讨SCLI在有效立法过程中使用的宣传策略。它还调查了SCLI在全球劳工团结背景下的作用。研究结果表明,尽管这项新法律在国际人权标准方面存在一些不足,但作为德国工会和民间社会组织建立联盟最成功的例子之一,它取得了部分进展。SCLI带来了从自愿尽职调查到强制性尽职调查的范式转变。这一经验可以进一步推动欧盟层面的供应链法。作者认为,SCLI的经历为重新思考德国工会在全球团结和国家社团主义社会伙伴关系之间选择的结构性困境开辟了一个新的阶段。

Abstract The global supply chain crisis during the pandemic provides an opportunity to reflect on the vulnerabilities of the just-in-time model of capitalist production. As capital studies and prepares for risks to the global supply chain, so must workers if we are make global systemic changes needed to reverse the many catastrophic crises facing humanity. The articles in this forum re-examine unions and global workers organizing in seven countries to move us past the limited focus on collective bargaining, contracts, labor law, and unions tied to neoliberal political parties to identify and assess strategies for cross-border worker organizing at these choke points to apply pressure, extract gains, and tip the balance of power in their favor.
摘要疫情期间的全球供应链危机提供了一个反思资本主义生产准时制模式脆弱性的机会。随着资本研究和准备应对全球供应链的风险,如果我们要进行扭转人类面临的许多灾难性危机所需的全球系统性变革,工人们也必须这样做。本论坛的文章重新审视了七个国家的工会和全球工人组织,以使我们摆脱对集体谈判、合同、劳动法和与新自由主义政党有关的工会的有限关注,从而确定和评估在这些瓶颈点组织跨境工人的策略,以施加压力、获取利益,并使权力平衡朝着有利于他们的方向倾斜。

Toward Degrowth: Worker Power, Surveillance Abolition, and Climate Justice at Amazon 走向衰落:亚马逊的工人权力、废除监督和气候正义

Abstract Amazon is facing growing scrutiny over its workplace, community, and environmental harms, but interventions remain fragmented: grassroots organizing efforts against productivity quotas and diesel emissions have yet to be incorporated into policy debates over whether Amazon should be broken up or operated under direct public provision. Meanwhile, the company continues to define how people buy, sell, invest, and work, positioning itself to control global supply chains. This article challenges the perceived inevitability of Amazon’s growth. Linking questions of harm mitigation and economic governance, it shows how the various struggles being waged against Amazon point to an emergent counterhegemonic vision for Amazon, one marked by worker power, surveillance abolition, and ecological degrowth. This approach nests contingent organizing opportunities within a comprehensive vision of social transformation, assimilating seemingly conflicting reform paths. Rather than counterposing antitrust and nationalization, the article treats these as levers along a continuum of degrowing Amazon and realigning its operative principles around social need.
亚马逊正面临着越来越多的关于其工作场所、社区和环境危害的审查,但干预措施仍然是分散的:基层组织反对生产力配额和柴油排放的努力尚未被纳入关于亚马逊是否应该分拆或在直接公共供应下运营的政策辩论。与此同时,该公司继续定义人们如何购买、销售、投资和工作,将自己定位为控制全球供应链。这篇文章对亚马逊增长的必然性提出了挑战。它将危害减轻和经济治理的问题联系起来,展示了针对亚马逊的各种斗争如何指向一个新兴的亚马逊反霸权愿景,一个以工人力量、取消监视和生态退化为标志的愿景。这种方法在社会转型的全面愿景中,容纳了偶然的组织机会,吸收了看似冲突的改革路径。这篇文章并没有将反垄断和国有化对立起来,而是将它们视为一种杠杆,使亚马逊的经济增长放缓,并围绕社会需求重新调整其运作原则。

Automation Processes in the Port Industry and Union Strategies: The Case of Antwerp 港口业的自动化过程与联盟战略——以安特卫普为例
IF 0.4 Q1 HISTORY Pub Date : 2022-02-08 DOI: 10.1515/ngs-2022-0003

Abstract Automation represents a sensitive issue in the debate between social actors of the port-maritime industry. Automation produced a contraction of the number of dockworkers since the 1960s. However, the idea that technological innovation will produce the disappearance of work is not sustained by empirical evidence. For this reason, trade unions have been particularly watchful. Despite the discourses about robotization carried out by supply chain operators, the paradigm of the post-COVID logistics chain is still based upon the human labor cost. During the pandemic there has been a transformation in working conditions not in terms of replacing people with robots, but rather of the robotization of workers to obtain the maximum productive exploitation at the minimum wage allowed. The purpose of this article is to provide an analysis of labor relations and workers organizing in light of the automation processes in the European port of Antwerp. The article focuses on how working conditions and jobs are potentially impacted by automation in ports, and on how workers disruptive strategies are resisting to these dynamics. The following questions have been answered: How do trade unions and dockworkers respond to automation? What are the strategies implemented in the bargaining processes?
自动化是港口航运业社会行动者之间争论的一个敏感问题。自20世纪60年代以来,自动化导致码头工人数量减少。然而,技术创新将导致工作消失的观点并没有经验证据支持。出于这个原因,工会一直格外警惕。尽管供应链运营商进行了机器人化的论述,但后疫情物流链的范式仍然基于人力成本。在大流行期间,工作条件发生了变化,不是用机器人取代人,而是工人的机器人化,以便以允许的最低工资获得最大的生产剥削。本文的目的是提供劳动关系的分析和工人组织在安特卫普的自动化过程的光的欧洲港口。本文重点关注港口自动化对工作条件和工作的潜在影响,以及工人的破坏性策略如何抵制这些动态。以下问题得到了回答:工会和码头工人如何应对自动化?在议价过程中实施了哪些策略?

Fiscal Space Policies for Sustainable Development and Debt Relief: Empirical Analysis in West African Countries 可持续发展与债务减免的财政空间政策:西非国家的实证分析

Abstract The uncertainty that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought demonstrates that income redistribution and traditional debt relief mechanisms are insufficient to meet public spending needs, mitigate external debt, and comply with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which aim to reduce multilateral debt to sustainable levels. Also, West African countries have focused their attention on the long-term fight against poverty and inequality and strengthening their social programs, especially in primary health care and macroeconomic stability. However, for more than a decade, the developing and least developed countries of West Africa have faced rapidly weakening macroeconomic conditions, combining several interrelated crises such as the sharp decline in oil prices, volatile financial markets and tourism disruptions, a global recession, the crisis of climate change, and shortages of food and energy, along with the economic contraction of COVID-19. Data from these countries show that health spending increases economic growth, minimizes infant mortality rates, and reduces debt. Furthermore, increasing government spending efficiency reduces the total debt and improves the health sector, in particular.
摘要新冠肺炎疫情带来的不确定性表明,收入再分配和传统的债务减免机制不足以满足公共支出需求、减轻外债和遵守旨在将多边债务降至可持续水平的联合国可持续发展目标。此外,西非国家将注意力集中在消除贫困和不平等的长期斗争上,并加强其社会计划,特别是在初级卫生保健和宏观经济稳定方面。然而,十多年来,西非的发展中国家和最不发达国家面临着迅速恶化的宏观经济状况,同时也面临着一些相互关联的危机,如油价暴跌、金融市场动荡和旅游业中断、全球衰退、气候变化危机以及粮食和能源短缺,随着新冠肺炎的经济收缩。来自这些国家的数据显示,医疗支出增加了经济增长,最大限度地降低了婴儿死亡率,并减少了债务。此外,提高政府支出效率可以减少总债务,尤其是改善卫生部门。

Abstract This article addresses two key questions concerning US foreign aid under the 45th US President, Donald Trump (2017–21): Did the Trump administration radically restructure the foreign aid apparatus of the US government amid the recent reemergence of China as a key state actor in international development and global governance? If so, how and under which conditions did the US, as the world’s largest foreign aid donor, deal with the new challenges posed by the expanding global reach of Chinese foreign aid and diplomacy? The core objective here is to look back at the Trump administration, particularly in its role in the US foreign aid apparatus vis-à-vis the reemergence of China as a global power and the decline of US influence abroad. This article maintains that the dominance of the US in the international development sector was under serious threat from two principal challenges: (1) the lack of coherent and credible strategy from the Trump administration amid the rapidly increasing influence of China as an aid donor country; and the (2) the declining legitimacy of the US a foreign aid donor due to the exclusionary and anti-globalization discourses of Trump vis-à-vis the perceived the decline of American power.
本文探讨了美国第45任总统唐纳德·特朗普(2017-21)任内美国对外援助的两个关键问题:特朗普政府是否在中国作为国际发展和全球治理中的关键国家角色重新崛起的背景下,从根本上重组了美国政府的对外援助机构?如果是这样,作为世界上最大的外援捐助国,美国是如何以及在何种条件下应对中国对外援助和外交在全球范围内不断扩大所带来的新挑战的?本文的核心目标是回顾特朗普政府,尤其是在中国作为全球大国重新崛起以及美国在海外影响力下降之际,特朗普政府在美国对外援助机构中所扮演的角色。本文认为,美国在国际发展领域的主导地位受到两个主要挑战的严重威胁:(1)在中国作为援助国的影响力迅速上升的背景下,特朗普政府缺乏连贯和可信的战略;(2)由于特朗普对-à-vis的排他性和反全球化言论,美国作为外援捐助国的合法性正在下降,人们认为美国实力正在衰落。
