This article presents the results of the analysis of the state of labor relations at modern oil and gas enterprises in Kazakhstan, as well as the trends in their changes under the influence of modernization processes. It justifies the approach to social partnership as one of the modern conditions (forms) of labor relations, which continues to change its content under the influence of production modernization processes in the oil and gas sector. The possibility of assessing the state of labor relations and the compliance of labor process participants with the requirements that modernization of the technical foundations of production presents is considered. A description is given of a methodology that allows us to assess the involvement of workers in the activities of the enterprise, as well as the state of formation of social partnership. The relevance of the study is that today, the role of social partnership is increasing because of the steady increase of conflict and competition levels in enterprises as a result of global inflation and crisis phenomena. The level of loyalty, peace of mind at the enterprise depends on the implementation of the principles of social partnership, the action of concluded industry and collective agreements. Oil-producing enterprises remain the flagship of the development of the entire national economy and represent an export-oriented industry. The scientific research method is the qualitative analysis, comparative analysis, application of the rating approach and ranking of results. As a result of the conducted research, based on the analysis of a number of indicators of companies that affect the level of social partnership, the problems of its development were clearly identified. In the course of the analysis, indicators that reflect the level of development of social partnership were grouped, a rating of companies was compiled according to the level of development of social partnership. Based on the calculation of the total rating, a final rating was compiled. The relationship between the final rating of social partnership companies and indicators of social and labor relations is considered. This article can be useful in case of the methodological and normative documents developments on social partnership, in particular, in case of concluding a General Agreement between employers, trade unions, and representatives of employers, when concluding industry tariff agreements, collective agreements, and also in event of a strategy development for oil companies to further avoid labor conflicts.

Environmental Mobilization

The state of Rio de Janeiro has become a hub for oil and gas production and infrastructure since Brazil entered the global oil market in the 2000s. Observers have anticipated increasing tensions between environmental activists and oil companies. These predictions have not been fulfilled, despite increasing evidence of environmental degradation caused by oil production. What could be hindering environmental mobilization in defense of the environment and affected populations and against the unrestrained expansion of oil infrastructure in the state? A longitudinal case study of environmental activism in defense of the Guanabara Bay ecosystem suggests that answers must consider the combined effects of democratization, political and regulatory decentralization, and neoliberal reforms on socioenvironmental activism—specifically, its weakening as civil society organizations confront increasing burdens of participation in policy making, deeply fragmented institutional and regulatory frameworks for environmental governance, and the expansion of opportunities to engage in collaborative arrangements with corporations. O Estado do Rio de Janeiro tornou-se o centro da infraestrutura e produção de gás e petróleo desde que o Brasil ingressou no mercado internacional de petróleo nos anos 2000. Analistas vêm antecipando crescente tensão entre ativistas ambientais e companhias petrolíferas. Contudo, essas previsões não se concretizaram, não obstante evidência da degradação ambiental que a produção de petróleo vem causando. O que poderia estar impedindo a mobilização em defesa do meio ambiente e populações afetadas, e contra a expansão desmedida da infraestrutura petrolífera no estado? Um estudo de caso longitudinal do ativismo ambiental em defesa dos ecossistemas da Baía de Guanabara sugere que as repostas a essa questão devem considerar os efeitos combinados da democratização, descentralização política e regulatória, e reformas neoliberais no ativismo socioambiental—especificamente, seu enfraquecimento à medida que organizações da sociedade civil confrontam crescentes custos de participação nas políticas públicas, fragmentação de arcabouços regulatórios e institucionais de governança ambiental, e a expansão de oportunidades de engajamento em arranjos colaborativos com corporações.

The legal regulation of labor relations is carried out by the state on the basis of legislative norms. Legislative norms are the minimum level, and collective agreements of the organization are interested in raising this level. Both employers and employees are interested in the development of the regulatory system. The article presents the recommended structure of the collective agreement for the Tyumen transport and construction company that carries out its activities on the territory of the Russian Federation. Also, the authors developed an algorithm for introducing this collective agreement into practice.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand the interactions of the different actors – the state, multinational oil and gas companies, environmental advocacy groups and local people – in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws on interviews, observations and focus group discussions, as well as on archival materials relating to the development of the oil and gas industry during the colonial period (i.e. pre-1960 Nigeria). Findings – A cultural theory-based analysis of the environmental risk perceptions of the different actors reveals a profoundly unconstructive institutional configuration, in which the collusion of two “solidarities – the oil companies (individualism) and the state (hierarchy) – has led to the exclusion of the local communities (egalitarianism) who have found themselves impoverished and marginalised (fatalism). With these two “elephants” – individualism/hierarchy and egalitarianism/fatalism – pitted against each other, it has been the “grass” – the natural environment that has suffered. Practical implications – Giving the local communities a stake in the wealth-creating process, from which they are at present excluded, would shift the pattern of inter-solidarity engagement from one in which two “active” (i.e. non-fatalist) voices silence the third to one in which each voice is able to make itself heard and is then responsive to the others. Originality/value – Innovative and current on under-researched topic and geography. The main fieldwork was conducted between 2007 and 2008, with further field visits and updates between 2009 and 2013.

Subject. This article discusses the issues related to social dialogue and the practice of collective bargaining agreements in the Central Federal District regions. Objectives. The article aims to test the methodology for evaluating collective agreements in order to determine the level of development of labor relations at the regional level. The article also intends to make recommendations on improving collective agreements within the region framework. Methods. For the study, I used a content analysis, integrated, logical, and comparative approaches, and the social and labor relations theory basics. Results. The article proposes some recommendations for setting a minimum total efficiency ratio and increasing the proportion of legal rules that improve the situation of social partners. Conclusions. Based on the quantification of the content of collective agreements at the regional level through the content analysis of the Social Partnership section, the article concludes that the practice of concluding regional collective agreements in the Central Federal District of Russia is uneven.

In this article, the author examines the system of regulation of social and labor relations at sectoral enterprises of the machine-building industry in the region. The study of the contribution of the industrial potential of the machine-building industry to the economy of the region and the country has been carried out. The goals and objectives of trade unions in the system of social partnership, legislative and legal acts regulating labor relations at the regional level are analyzed, the structure of the republican sectoral tripartite commission is shown and examples of the implementation of republican sectoral agreements and collective agreements of enterprises are presented. The author identified the possible risks of legal uncertainty in the regulation of social and labor relations at the regional sectoral level. New forms and mechanisms of interaction with Russian industrial corporations for solving social and economic issues of labor collectives have been formulated and proposed. The conclusion of corporate agreements is becoming one of the key benchmarks.

Centralized System

The freedom and right to associate carries distinct meanings in different systems of industrial relations, giving rise to distinct institutions. Where bargaining is based on grassroots association, rates of membership in trade unions and coverage of collective agreements are low. Where bargaining is actively endorsed by the state, high rates of membership are matched by considerable coverage. Over the last two decades, some countries, four of which are studied here, have gone through a process that I designate as hybridization, in which a gap emerges between a rapidly declining rate of membership and persistent relatively high level of coverage. The Article accounts for the growing gap between coverage and membership and its implications. On the basis of extensive interviews with trade union officials, organizers, works councils’ members, Labor Chamber representatives, academics and journalists in the four countries, the Article further seeks to document and explain new organizing practices at two levels. First, why do unions seek to organize, despite persistent power accorded to collective agreements by the state? Second, which strategies are used for current recruitment and organizing practices? The discussion highlights the ongoing tension that is folded in the meeting of institutions that are aimed at sustaining the centralized system of bargaining and social partnership, with the dynamics that are characteristic of raising membership levels. Some best practices that seek to address this tension are identified, but are also characterized as difficult to emulate and extend as a general practice

The Status

Fracking has helped to usher in an era of energy abundance in the United States. This advanced drilling procedure has helped the nation to attain the status of the largest producer of crude oil and natural gas in the world, but some of its negative externalities, such as human-induced seismicity, can no longer be ignored. The occurrence of earthquakes in communities located at proximity to disposal wells with no prior history of seismicity has shocked residents and have caused damages to properties. It has evoked individuals’ resentment against the practice of injection of fracking’s wastewater under pressure into underground disposal wells. Though the oil and gas companies have denied the existence of a link between such a practice and earthquakes and the local and state governments have delayed their responses to the unforeseen seismic events, the issue has gained in prominence among researchers, affected community residents, and the media. This case study has offered a glimpse into the varied responses of stakeholders to human-induced seismicity in a small city in the state of Texas. It is evident from this case study that although individuals’ complaints and protests from a small community may not be successful in bringing about statewide changes in regulatory policies on disposal of fracking’s wastewater, they can add to the public pressure on the state government to do something to address the problem in a state that supports fracking.
