Working at the Interface: Call Centre Labour in a Global Economy
ISBN: 9780850367003 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Call centres illustrate the consequences of globalisation for labour perhaps more clearly than any other form of employment. Call-centre workers sit at the interface between the global and the local, having to transcend the limitations of local time zones, cultures and speech patterns. They are also at the interface between companies and their customers, having to absorb the impact of anger, incomprehension, confusion and racist abuse whilst still meeting exacting productivity targets and staying calm and friendly. Finally, they take the brunt of the conflict at the contested interface...

Passing the Buck: Corporate Restructuring and the Casualisation of Labour
ISBN: 9780850366532 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Passing the buck is Volume 5 No 1 of the international interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, Work Organisation, Labour and Globalisation. Casual labour is often thought of as a hangover from the bad old days, when agricultural workers were hired by the day, homeworkers slaved hidden away in back rooms and street vendors eked out a living in urban slums. Modernisation, new technology, industrialisation and economic development, it might be thought, are doing away with such primitive conditions. Unfortunately, as this volume shows, this is far from being the case. In fact the logic of...

Bridges and Barriers: Globalisation and the Mobility of Work and Workers
ISBN: 9780850366365 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Globalisation opens up many new choices for employers, both to relocate work and to tap into a flexible labour pool through the use of migrant workers. There is a complex interplay between the movement of jobs to people (offshore outsourcing) and the movement of people to jobs (migration). As well as examining the spatial dynamics of offshore outsourcing, this collection explores some of the ways that both jobs and workers are becoming more mobile, and looks not only at the implications of this for the careers and conditions of workers in footloose employment but also what it means for the...

ISBN: 9780850367041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When the irresistible force of globalisation meets the immovable object of specific national labour laws, industrial relations and working practices, as the song goes, 'something's gotta give'. This special issue of WorkOrganisation, Labour and Globalisation explores what 'gives' when work is reshaped in this encounter. Pummelled between the rock of global market forces on the one hand and national laws, traditions and cultures on the other, how is work being reshaped in different industries and countries and what price is being paid by workers in their daily lives? How are national policies...

ISBN: 9781583670880 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The workplace has been changed in recent decades by the rise of digital technologies. Parts of a single labor process can be moved around the world, with implications not only for individual workplaces, but for the working class as a whole. Within advanced capitalist countries, the workplace has been made more flexible through cell phones, e-mail, freelancing, and outsourcing. The process often makes the situation of the workers more precarious, as they are forced to pay for the tools of their trade, are expected to be constantly accessible to workplace demands, and are isolated from...

It's a situation that we increasingly take for granted in our digital era, and while it is indicative of the novelty of twenty-first-century capitalism, it is also the key to understanding its driving force: the relentless impulse to commodify our lives in every aspect.

Working online, living offline: Labour in the Internet Age
ISBN: 9780850366167 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is often argued that 'digital labour' or 'virtual work' is fundamentally different from traditional forms of labour carried out offline, with 'work' and 'play' collapsed together to become 'playbour' and new forms of value creation that do not fit traditional economic models. But however 'immaterial' their labour processes, workers still have bodies that become exhausted and require feeding and housing in the 'real' economy. Drawing on both theoretical and empirical research, this collection takes a critical look at how online work can be theorised and categorised (including revisiting...

Volume 6 Number 1 of the international interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal 'Work Organisation, Labour and Globalisation focuses on the gender in the international division of labour. The new global division of labour is bringing about huge changes in who does what work, how, when and where. But this dynamic new landscape is shaped by some very old forces. The gender division of labour in the home still, directly or indirectly, plays a dominant role in determining the very different experiences of women and men in this new global labour market, although it faces multiple new contradictions...

This question becomes ever more urgent as telecommunications technology shrinks the world and as more and more work is based on creating, processing and transporting information.
