How do labor unions impact workplace safety? Ling Li and coauthors show that unionization decreased the case distribution of accidents below 2 cases per 100 full-time equivalent workers annually in larger bargaining units and manufacturing establishments. doi.org/10.1177/0019...

What are the causes of #work #intensification? Francis Green and coauthors show that #technology, organizational change, upskilling requirements and self-employment can all account for increasing work intensification. doi.org/10.1177/0019...

How can the state facilitate workforce development? Jenna Myers and Katherine Kellogg @mitsloan.bsky.social show that state actors can structure provisional goal setting and revision, encourage experimentation, and frame coordination to inspire collective action. doi.org/10.1177/0019...

Read Stephen J Frenkel's review of Wolfgang Streeck's new book @versobooks.bsky.social that provokes us into thinking how nation #states can take back control from centralized #institutions and reverse the nefarious impacts of #neoliberal thinking. doi.org/10.1177/0019...

How can we reverse the plateauing of female labor force participation & slowing down of their occupational and wage convergence with men? Francine Blau @cornellilr.bsky.social suggests that policy initiatives to address work–family issues & labor market discrimination helps. doi.org/10.1177/0019...

Is there a gendered response to technological development? Using the case of fracking, Elizabeth U. Cascio & Ayushi Narayan show that it has significantly increased relative demand for less-educated male labor and increased high school dropout rates of male teens. doi.org/10.1177/0019...
