Studies of nonworker organizations -- 2. Studies of membership-based initiatives -- 3. New union opportunities and initiatives.Private sector unionism is in decline in the United States. As a result, labor advocates, community groups, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals concerned with the well-being of workers have sought to develop alternative ways to represent workers' interests. Emerging Labor Market Institutions for the Twenty-First Century provides the first in-depth assessment of how effectively labor market institutions are responding to this drastically altered landscape. This important volume provides case studies of new labor market institutions and new directions for existing institutions. The contributors examine the behavior and impact of new organizations that have formed to solve workplace problems and to bolster the position of workers. They also document how unions employ new strategies to maintain their role in the economic system. While non-union institutions are unlikely to fill the gap left by the decline of unions, the findings suggest that emerging groups and unions might together improve some dimensions of worker well-being. Emerging Labor Market Institutions is the story of workers and institutions in flux, searching for ways to represent labor in the new century.National Bureau of Economic Research conference report.Labor marketLabor unionsIndustrial relationsWhite collar workersWork environmentunions, labor, collective bargaining, working conditions, workforce, workers interests, work environment, white collar, industrial relations, human rights, regulation, activism, globalization, sweatshops, living wage, enforcement, employment laws, lobby, corporations, training, economics, nonfiction, membership, technical, professional.Labor market.Labor unions.Industrial relations.White collar workers.Work environment.331Freeman Richard B(Richard Barry),1943-118990Hersch Joni1956-1512952Mishel Lawrence R143824National Bureau of Economic Research.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784834003321Emerging labor market institutions for the twenty-first century3747168UNINA
