The job demands–control/support (JDC/JDCS) models are highly influential in the HRM and employee well-being literature. Despite the high face validity, however, research has failed to find convincing empirical support for the ‘buffer’ hypothesis suggested by the JDC/JDCS models. In this article the authors explore this issue from three perspectives. First, they test the controversial ‘buffer’ hypothesis using a large nationally representative matched employer–employee sample from Britain. Second, they examine the role of teamwork HRM practices as a moderator of the buffering effect of job control against job demands on employee well-being. Finally, incorporating occupational level data into the analysis, the authors further explore the moderating effects of teamwork under different occupation-specific work intensity. The analysis suggests that there is strong evidence supporting the ‘buffering’ hypothesis. Also, it was found that teamwork moderates the buffering effect for employee intrinsic job satisfaction. Finally, the moderating effect of teamwork differs between occupations with different levels of work intensity.

Although prior research on union satisfaction emphasized the importance of workplace issues, such as wages, hours, and working conditions for union member satisfaction, some research has suggested satisfaction with union representation is more nuanced. Specifically, because unions extend their activities beyond the workplace to include all working people and societal issues, these activities also affect the experience of union members. This two-sample study uses a 2018 Qualtrics panel and a 2003 telephone survey to uncover additional aspects of union satisfaction determinants. Despite the prominence of the business union philosophy and its focus on union workplace instrumentality, results show prosocial unionism also is a significant predictor of union satisfaction.

Companies’ access to temporary workers is an important aspect of the functioning of labour markets. The strictness of regulations is not determined by the regulations alone, but also how these are enforced. Thus, knowledge on why some employees take action while others do not is important to understand the functioning of these regulations. We analyse temporary workers’ experiences and perceptions related to enforcement in the Norwegian labour market by distinguishing between ‘exit’, ‘voice’ and ‘silence’. Where enforcement is left to the temporary employee, as in Norway, enforcement may be difficult due to the limited power of the employee vis-a-vis the employer. Trade unions may, however, increase this power and in this study the role of local trade union representatives in enforcement is included. Taking the comprehensive Norwegian model of trade unions’ support into account, this case can be seen as a robust case for understanding the process of enforcement.

The increasing popularity of the Internet and the rapid development of social media in China have given more power of discourse to migrant workers, who have traditionally been in a disadvantageous position in terms of labor conflict. Based on a textual analysis of a typical strike, this article finds that, during collective protest, the discourse of migrant workers is dual, as it consists of both a traditional class discourse and a modern legal discourse. When using traditional class discourse, they do so to justify their actions and win the sympathy and support of public opinion. When applying modern legal discourse, they do so to cater to the governing concept of rule by law in contemporary China and use it as a means to advocate practical economic interests. This dual discourse is a reflection of the political reality in contemporary China, and points to the contradiction faced by China’s ruling party in the transition period.

Highly skilled freelance workers are mainly depicted as a challenge to trade unionism because of their mobility, market power and specific interests in organisational support. The authors explore the manifestations of collectivism of highly skilled freelance workers on the basis of semi-structured interviews with 14 highly skilled freelancers and 35 representatives of intermediaries such as trade unions, professional associations, staffing agencies and cooperatives in medicine, IT and film in Germany. The results reveal new forms and dynamics of labour market collectivism arising from concurrent conflicts and negotiations of job access and working conditions.

Union provision of collective bargaining and political lobbying generates positive outcomes across society. A union default holds significant promise to revive the flagging fortunes of unions by enabling them to recruit many more members, extend their bargaining coverage, and place them in a stronger position to deliver these positive outcomes. Non-unionism is the default setting in employment arrangements. A union default would reverse this, so employees are defaulted into membership in the first instance, but with a right to opt-out. In this article the authors test whether framing unions as providers of public goods increases worker support for a union default and intention to stay in a union, if defaulted. The authors find that workers are significantly more likely to support a union default and stay in union membership in scenarios involving positive framing for unions.

The articles in this issue of Economic and Industrial Democracy cover, e.g., union renewal, value chains and unions, job insecurity, workplace health, and various institutional and legal conditions in different countries. The first article in this issue, ‘Migrant workers trapped between individualism and collectivism: The formation of union-based workplace collectivism’, by Bjarke Refslund, Aalborg University, Denmark, and Markku Sippola, University of Helsinki, Finland, discusses transnational labour migration and the tensions between collectivism and workers’ rights for migrant workers. The individual strategies of migrant workers and employers’ segregation strategies are discussed in relation to the union strategies in the Nordic countries Finland and Denmark. The authors conclude that the complex interactions in relation to the success or failure of the unions might benefit from using situational occurrences of collectivism. Further, the authors emphasize the usefulness of discussing such issues from a dynamic, not static, perspective. The article ‘Does the household context matter for job satisfaction among low-wage workers?’, by Matthias Pohlig, Universität Bremen, and Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany, Sabine Israel, GESIS Leibniz-Institut für Sozialwissenschaften in Köln, Germany, and Irene Dingeldey, Universität Bremen, Germany, illuminates the role of single earners and their job satisfaction. The results, according to the authors, show that this group has lower job satisfaction compared with secondary earners. Further, the household context was found to be important in order to understand the low-wage workers’ situation in terms of job satisfaction. Also, women report higher job satisfaction compared to men. Uwe Jirjahn, University of Trier, Germany, GLO and IZA, Jens Mohrenweiser, Bournemouth University, UK, and Stephen C Smith, George Washington University, USA, GLO and IZA, discuss workplace health promotion in Germany in the article ‘Works councils and workplace health promotion in Germany’. The authors find that if the establishments have works councils, this is clearly associated with more workplace health promotion, compared with the requirement by law. The strength of this association depends on the type of establishment as well as the location. These results also cover other measures of workplace health promotion. The article ‘Public support for a union default: Predicting factors and implications for public policy’, by Mark Harcourt, University of Waikato, New Zealand, Gregor Gall, University of Leeds, UK, Margaret Wilson, University of Waikato, New Zealand, Korey Rubenstein, University of Waikato, New Zealand, and Sudong Shang, Griffith University, Australia, investigates the level of support for a union default in New Zealand.

Global value chains (GVCs) have become the dominant form of industrial organization in the global economy. Although the economic outcomes of GVC restructuring have been measured and the determinants theorized, there is a lack of empirical research on the real processes of GVC restructuring and its impact on labour in the Global North. This article helps to address this gap by investigating the effect of the participation in GVCs on the lead firms' value-capturing strategies and on workers' ability to defend and improve their working conditions in the Swiss machinery industry. Based on a critical GVC approach and a qualitative study of two work conflicts, the study demonstrates how GVCs shape a variety of new strategies for capital and labour; enhancing forms of management strategies and weakening the possibilities for workers' counterstrategies by eroding collectivism and solidarity and promoting individualism among workers.
