Institutional Model

Contemporary labour market is subject to profound changes, such as the increase in the importance of short-term relations between employee and employer, transformation in the very nature of the employer, automation of many jobs. Changes in global work require permanent monitoring whether the institutional model of labor relations is adequate to the changing reality. An element of this model are legally sanctioned groups that can consult and negotiate the existing formal framework for cooperation. The aim of the article is to present the direction of institutional changes in the model of labor relations in Poland. Analysis focused on formal definitions of the major players operating in this market. The conducted studies (desk research) were based on ILO formal documents. The article presents proposed changes in the classification of labor market participants. The article highlights the increase in the importance of self-employment, and the increasingly less representative nature of organizations recognized so far as the main actors of labour market – trade unions and employers’ organizations. It has been proved that the definitions and classifications of major players used on the traditional labor market are not sufficient to monitor the current trends of this market.

Social Europe

Twenty five years after Portuguese EU accession, the labour market in general and the trade unions in particular are faced with severely regressive social measures that undermine past expectations of progress towards the achievement of the Social Europe project in Portugal. Thus, on the one hand, this article identifies some of the ambitions and possibilities earlier opened up for the Portuguese labour market, as well as trade union attitudes to European integration. It is argued, on the other hand, that, in the context of the economic crisis and the austerity measures to which Portugal is subjected, the sense of Portugal’s backwardness in relation to the ‘European project’ has become more acute. The article accordingly focuses on and examines some of the austerity measures and certain controversial issues associated with them. In a final section, the impact of austerity on labour relations and the reactions of social partners, in particular the trade unions, are analysed.

This article analyses labour market flexibility in the Central and Eastern European countries (the CEECs). An empirical approach is taken that concentrates on macro level issues including labour protection, labour market policy and the role of trade unions in wage setting. The authors conclude that labour relations are not less strictly regulated in the CEECs than in the EU countries. Expenditure on labour market policy is relatively low in most CEECs. Decreases in wages, and especially decreases in nominal wages, indicate the flexibility of wages in the CEECs and the minor role played by the unions in the wage-bargaining process.

Commercial Farms

<p>The labour market in rural areas of South Africa’s Western Cape province has undergone considerable changes over the last thirty years. New labour and tenure legislation protecting farm workers combined with trade liberalisation, the abolition of subsidies and in-migration from other areas of South Africa has significantly reshaped labour on commercial farms. There is an increasing divide between permanent farm workers and a growing pool of precariously employed workers who labour seasonally on farms and are frequently employed through labour brokers. These divisions came to a head in 2012 when workers, many of whom work seasonally on farms, launched a strike that was to last for six months. Trade unions have struggled to organise an increasingly fragmented rural labour market and at the same time negotiate the forms of paternalism that continue to exert a strong influence over rural labour relations. Based on interviews with trade union organisers, this article examines how they have responded to the twin challenges of labour broking and paternalism. The farm strikes highlight the need for a form of social movement unionism that goes beyond wage demands and tackles the multiple factors that influence poverty in rural areas.</p>

The Eu

The aim of this study is to present the opportunities for trade unions to influence the labor market in the EU. The economic crisis in the EU has affected its labor markets to varying degrees. In the analysis of selected examples it can be clearly seen that the countries that have survived the crisis in the labor market better are those where the labor market is flexible, i.e. where, although people can easily lose one job, they are relatively likely to find another. EU states undertake to make labor relations more flexible, to further diversify employment forms, or to move salary negotiations to lower levels, thus eliminating state intervention in labor markets. Local EU labor markets have become a part of a supranational system of free flow of workers. European integration has generated common problems in the labor market, where trade unions need to undertake joint efforts to increase the flexibility, mobility and efficiency of the labor force, to improve labor market programs and provide for more efficient collaboration of social partners. This also follows from the protective function trade unions are supposed to play in the unified European market, and from an attempt to solve the issue of whether the expansion of trade union activity to the European level is effective in looking for compromise on the labor market.

The purpose of the article was to study the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sustainability of workers. The paper analyses relevant domestic and foreign publications in the field of labour and employment. There is no single point of view regarding remote employment as one of the most effective ways to preserve health of workers. Among the main disadvantages of remote employment are the lack of live communication and contacts with colleagues, difficulties with organizing the workflow in the technological aspect, as well as the difficulty of combining work and household responsibilities. Researchers have an unambiguous position on reducing the number of working hours, fears of losing jobs or earnings – such risks are increasing in many regions of the world, and part of the population has already directly faced such problems. At the same time, for example, fears of losing a job largely depend on the form of ownership, the specifics of the organization’s activities, etc. The study pays particular attention to the situation of certain categories of workers and vulnerable segments of society in the labour market. The authors outline the prospects for remote employment and maintaining the sustainability of the position of workers in the new socio-economic reality.Keywords: coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19, employment, labor market, labor relations, non-standard employment, remote employment, transformation of employment, unemployment

Формирование и развитие благоприятных социально-трудовых отношений между работниками и работодателями является важным направлением развития современного российского рынка труда. Однако полное доверие и понимание между субъектами трудовых отношений зачастую достигается посредством преодоления конфронтации сторон и борьбы интересов. Трудовые конфликты являются не только индикаторами социальной напряженности, но и средством обнаружения скрытых проблем на рынке труда. Статья посвящена характеристике социальной напряженности субъектов трудовых отношений в Российской Федерации, а также выявлению причин трудовых конфликтов и основных факторов их разрешения на основе данных авторского опроса. На основе исследования было установлено положительное влияние наличия профсоюзов, коллективных договоров, участия работников в коллективных переговорах для решения управленческих, организационных, административных и иных вопросов и участия работников в управлении организацией на социально-трудовые отношения на предприятиях. Оценка данного влияния позволяет выявить и оценить логику снижения конфликтности в трудовой сфере и повышения качества взаимоотношений между работниками и работодателями. Из ответов респондентов была получена оценка деятельности профсоюзов, результативности коллективных договоров на предприятиях, возможности участия работнико The formation and development of favourable social and labour relations between employees and employers is an important direction of the modern Russian labour market development. However full trust and understanding between the subjects of labour relations are often achieved by overcoming the confrontation of the parties and the struggle of interests. Labour conflicts are not only indicators of social tension, but also a means of detecting hidden problems in the labour market. The article is devoted to the characterization of the social tension of the subjects of labour relations in Russia, as well as the identification of the causes of labour conflicts and the main factors for their resolution based on the data of the author's survey. On the basis of the study, it was found that the presence of trade unions, collective agreements, the participation of workers in collective bargaining to solve managerial, organizational, administrative and other issues and the participation of workers in managing the organization are positively impacted on the social and labour relations in enterprises. Evaluation of this influence allows us to identify and evaluate the logic of reducing conflicts in the labour sphere and improving the quality of relations between workers and employers. We have received an assessment of the activities of trade unions, the effectiveness of collective bargaining agreements at enterprises, the possibility of workers participating in collective, and managing the organization from the responses of survey participants

В статье дана характеристика особым преференциальным территориям в РФ, проведен анализ их развития, показавший ежегодный и активный рост числа ТОСЭР, их резидентов, объемов вложенных инвестиционных ресурсов, числа рабочих мест. Выявлены проблемы в функционировании ТОСЭР. Представлены сведения о текущем состоянии ТОСЭР в Республике Дагестане. Авторами предложена методика оценки эффективности функционирования ТОСЭР, расположенных на территории монопрофильных муниципальных образований (ММО), которая имеет комплексный характер и учитывает многоаспектные особенности функционирования данных территорий, что позволяет получать информацию для принятия управленческих решений, осуществлять мониторинг деятельности ТОСЭР. Imperfect competition in social and labour relations has no homogeneous effect on regional labour markets. There is a regional segmentation of the domestic labor market under the influence of imperfect competition. Government measures and measures to regulate the domestic labour market have different effects on regional labour markets. In this regard, the weakening of imperfect competition in social and labour relations is seen through the strengthening of the role of the regional labour policy of the population.

The relevance of the topic of the functioning of the labour market in the conditions of digitalization is due to the need for identifying and accounting for the risks of subjects of labour relations. The author reviews modern literature sources to determine the impact of digitalization on the labour market, identifies the positive and negative manifestations of this impact, defines the concept of risk for subjects of labour relations, and describes its main types and determinants. The correlation and regression analysis of the relationship between the economy and society digitalization index and the unemployment rate shows that the risks are low and the relationship is weak. The risk of unemployment in the context of digitalization is directly related to the level of the flexibility of the labor market and the elasticity of unemployment. In the conclusion, the author describes the novelty of the approach and gives recommendations for the state regulation of the issue.
