International Market Integration and Union Wage Bargaining

This study of wage bargaining in the aerospace industry focuses particularly on lump sum bonuses, one-time cash disbursements that generally accompany lower increases in the base wage than were formerly standard. Although such bonuses, which appeared in aerospace companies before they appeared in other large manufacturing industries, were viewed as a union concession, they persisted into the 1989 bargaining round despite a sharp upturn in the fortunes of the most prominent aerospace company. The author regards that fact, as well as the weakening of both inter- and intra-industry pattern bargaining, as support for the view that a significant shift in union wage determination occurred in the 1980s. He argues, however, based on interviews with managers, union officials, and workers, that consensus has not yet been achieved on the meaning of this shift.

Late Twentieth Century

Also labeled undocumented, irregular, and unauthorized migration, illegal migration places immigrants in tenuous legal circumstances with limited rights and protections. We argue that illegal migration emerged as a structural feature of the second era of capitalist globalization, which emerged in the late twentieth century and was characterized by international market integration. Unlike the first era of capitalist globalization (1800 to 1929), the second era sees countries limiting and controlling international migration and creating a global economy in which all markets are globalized except for labor and human capital, giving rise to the relatively new phenomenon of illegal migration. Yet despite rampant inequalities in wealth and income between nations, only 3.1 percent of all people lived outside their country of birth in 2010. We expect this to change: threat evasion is replacing opportunity seeking as a motivation for international migration because of climate change and rising levels of civil violence in the world’s poorer nations. The potential for illegal migration is thus greater now than in the past, and more nations will be forced to grapple with growing populations in liminal legal statuses.

Changes in the pattern of production results in world food production schedule was delayed, and along with these changes, many countries export so that world food prices increase. Rising world food prices starting from US and then spread in the other parts of the world, including Indonesia. However, it is unknown how big relatedness of International food prices changes with food prices in Indonesia. This paper aims to analyze the connectedness between domestic rice market with international market, how long shock in international rice impact on the domestic market and to analyze interlinkage in domestic primary rice market.

Conditions Of Employment

What do unions do? The major objective of unions is to improve the terms of conditions of employment for their members. At the same time, unions have a considerable impact on the employment conditions of not only their own members but non-unionised workers as well. One of the most important employment terms unions negotiate is wages. As a result, wage bargaining has been identified as a primary function of unions, and differences in wages between union and non-union members are considered an important measure of union power. In most countries this differential is called the ‘union/non-union’ wage differential. In New Zealand, however, there are employees who are union members but are not covered by collective agreements, contrary to the more common occurrence in other countries (e.g. the United States and Canada), where non-union members are often covered by collective agreements. Therefore, in New Zealand the differential should be more precisely called the ‘collective versus individual’ wage differential. In this article we focus on the raw ‘collective’ wage differential, but due to convention we still call it the ‘union’ wage differential.
