Toward a drop-out labor force

Article Abstract:

Women have joined the labor force in increasing numbers and a structural change is needed to accommodate their desires to leave the work force temporarily while they raise their children. Problems which need to be addressed include lost pension benefits for those who take long breaks from the work force. Companies might save money by accommodating women in this way since they would no longer need to provide child care, and female workers might be more productive due to lower stress.

Telexploitation

Article Abstract:

Thought must be given to managing telecommuting so that home workers are not exploited. One danger is that people working at home, especially those paid at a piecework rate, tend to put in a great deal of overtime, leading to increased psychological stress. Overtime pay rather than a piecework rate would eliminate this type of exploitation. Electronic monitoring of home workers would need to be regulated rather than rationalized as good management control.

Will there be a new direction for American industrial relations? A hard look at the TEAM bill, the Sawyer substitute bill, and the Employee Involvement bill

Article Abstract:

The Teamwork for Employees and Management Act of 1995 bill and Sawyer substitute bill support employee participation in management. However, neither of these bills provide employers with the necessary flexibility at the same time as protecting employees. The Employee Involvement bill provides a more objective approach to the issue and can be used as a starting point for redirecting American industrial relations in a legislatively rational way.
