This study is an attempt to answer the question whether the issues that have the fundamental subject of the world of values were included in the first Polish unified labor law regulations. The article, that due to the temporal scope, should be treated, however, as a contribution to contemporary studies as well as the resulting extensive analyzes of axiology.

Despite the proliferation of studies concerned with the unemployment problem and the mechanics of welfare provision between the world wars, most historians have focused either on the difficulties facing manual workers or on the role of state services in the provision of benefits. This emphasis is not surprising given the persistence of a high level of manual unemployment in this period, which led in turn to an unprecedented demand for maintenance and a huge increase in public expenditure on unemployment relief. However, the emphasis upon manual workers has led to an unfortunate neglect of other sections of the labour-force, while the concern with the evolution of state services has diverted attention from the continuing importance of voluntary agencies in the field of welfare provision.

At the root of inequality, unemployment, and populism are radical changes in the world economy. Digital technology is allowing talented foreigners to telecommute into our workplaces and compete for service and professional jobs. Instant machine translation is melting language barriers, so the ranks of these "tele-migrants" will soon include almost every educated person in the world. Computing power is dissolving humans' monopoly on thinking, enabling AI-trained computers to compete for many of the same white-collar jobs. The combination of globalization and robotics is creating the globotics upheaval, and it threatens the very foundations of the liberal welfare-state.Richard Baldwin, one of the world's leading globalization experts, argues that the inhuman speed of this transformation threatens to overwhelm our capacity to adapt. From computers in the office to automatic ordering systems in restaurants, we are familiar with the how digital technologies offer convenience while also eliminating jobs. Globotics will disrupt the lives of millions of white-collar workers much faster than automation, industrialization, and globalization disrupted the lives of factory workers in previous centuries. The result will be a backlash. Professional, white-collar, and service workers will agitate for a slowing of the unprecedented pace of disruption, as factory workers have done in years past.Baldwin argues that the globotics upheaval will be countered in the short run by "shelter-ism" - government policies that shelter some service jobs from tele-migrants and thinking computers. In the long run, people will work in more human jobs-activities that require real people to use the uniquely human ability of independent thought-and this will strengthen bonds in local communities. Offering effective strategies such as focusing on the social value of work, The Globotics Upheaval will help people prepare for the oncoming wave of an advanced robotic workforce.

This article explores the last chapter in the long history of the Jewish port workers in the waterfront of Thessaloniki—the World War II years. The Jewish blue-collar workers and white-collar workers shared a common history, and at the same time, each had a different story to tell on the drama of the war. Their everyday experience in the roles of workers, soldiers, non-combatants, and as Greek civilians reveals the Jewish role in shaping the space of the wartime port during three periods: Greek neutrality (September 1939 to September 1940), the Greek-Italian War (October 1940 to March 1941), and German occupation from April 1941 to March 1943, when the port became an ‘Aryan’ space.

AbstractThe research conducted by this author is a research that uses normative juridical research methods. Although manpower does not specifically regulate whether or not companies can withhold a worker's diploma, in reality the world of work requires a company to withhold a diploma from a worker as a guarantee from the worker in the employment agreement. With no regulation that provides for or prohibits this, it creates a norm vacuum in labor law, which has implications for allowing the actions of employers to withhold workers' certificates. For this reason, based on human rights, this action is said to be an act that is against the law, because there are human rights of workers that are violated by the company. As a result, it can be canceled from the work agreement because there is an element of coercion even though it is not directly due to the trading position owned by the company. The impact of criminal law from withholding a worker's diploma is that a company can be suspected of embezzlement in office, as a result of its actions that withholding a diploma fulfill the elements in Article 374 of the Criminal Code. It is important to make a special rule that provides provisions on whether or not a company can withhold a worker's diploma which should be regulated in a law that has direct contact with workers and employers/employers, namely the labor law.Keywords: diploma; employment agreement; criminalAbstrakPenelitian yang dilakukan penulis ini adalah penelitian yang menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif. Meskipun ketenagakerjaan tidak mengatur secara khusus tentang memperbolehkan atau tidak memperbolehkan perusahaan menahan ijazah pekerja, tetapi dalam realita dunia kerja perusahaan akan mensyaratkan untuk menahan ijazah dari pekerja sebagai jaminan dari pekerja dalam perjanjian kerja. Dengan tidak ada pengaturan yang memberikan atau melarang hal tersebut menimbulkan kekosongan norma dalam hukum  ketenagakerjaan, yang berimplikasi pada pembiaran terhadap tindakan dari pengusaha yang menahan ijazah pekerja. Untuk itu dengan berlandaskan pada hak asasi manusia, tindakan tersebut dikatakan sebagai sebuah tindakan yang melawan hukum, karena ada hak asasi manusia dari pekerja yang dilanggar oleh perusahaan. Akibatnya dapat dilakukan pembatalan dari perjanjian kerja karena ada unsur paksaan meskipun tidak langsung akibat barganinng position  yang dimiliki oleh perusahaan. Dampak hukum pidana dari menahan ijazah pekerja adalah perusahaan dapat diduga melakukan penggelapan dalam jabatan, akibat perbuatannya yang menahan ijazah memenuhi unsur dalam Pasal 374 KUHP. Pentingnya untuk dibuat sebuah aturan khusus yang memberikan ketentuan tentang dapat atau tidak dapat perusahaan menahan ijazah pekarja yang sebaiknya diatur dalam undang-undang yang bersentuhan langsung dengan pekerja dan pengusaha/pemberi kerja yaitu undang-undang ketenagakerjaan.

In the daily work of office workers, the comfort of the office chair has a great impact on the staff’s work efficiency and human health. Sitting on the office chair for a long time may cause diseases such as cervical, shoulder, and lumbar spine. This article uses online literature research, brand analysis, and offline field research to understand the current status and deficiencies of office chairs, find design points and design directions, and based on ergonomics and sitting analysis research, design general office chairs for female white-collar workers to achieve a comfortable and healthy office purpose.

BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest in HR-analytics because of its ability to analyze employee behavior based on HR data. Predicting voluntary turnover of employees is an important topic of study, both in academia and industry. OBJECTIVE: The current study analyzes determinants for turnover, distinguishing between blue and white collar workers. The turnover analyses are based on a dataset from a payroll company, in contrary to previous turnover studies that used survey and interview data. METHODS: The studied dataset contains demographic and work specific factors for more than 380000 employees in 15692 Belgian corporations. Logistic regression is used to estimate individual turnover probabilities, the goodness of the model is tested with the AUC method. RESULTS: The study confirms turnover determinants and differences between blue and white collar workers that were described in previous work based on survey and interview data. Additionally, the study exposes so far unstudied turnover determinants and differences between blue and white collar workers. Confirmed determinants are among others age, seniority, pay and work distance. New determinants are company car, meal vouchers, night work and sickness. Different relationships to turnover are revealed for blue and white collar workers based on gender, number of children, nationality and pay. CONCLUSIONS: The presented dataset-based approach has its merit in analyzing turnover: it enables to study actual turnover instead of turnover intentions, and reveals new turnover determinants and differences between blue and white collar workers.
