Exit, Voice, and Solidarity
"Work has become more insecure and unequal. Corporate restructuring strategies hold a good share of the blame, as managers seek to cut costs and shift risk through downsizing, outsourcing, and intensifying performance management. Under what conditions do companies take alternative approaches to restructuring, that balance market demands for profits with social demands for high quality jobs? In Exit, Voice, and Solidarity, Doellgast argues that labor unions can play a central role in encouraging high road practices. But they face steep challenges where they lack strong and inclusive social institutions, based on high minimum standards and worker rights to participate in management decisions. Based on detailed case studies in the US and European telecommunications industry, Doellgast shows that cross-national differences in these institutions led to significant differences in restructuring strategies, with implications for worker pay, security, and well-being. However, building and defending these strong social institutions required solidaristic organizing strategies, to push back against intensifying competition across workers and within the labor movement. Constraints on employer exit, support for collective worker voice, and strategies of inclusive labor solidarity together proved to be crucial sources of worker power within core firms and across increasingly fissured and outsourced workplaces. Findings from Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Germany, France, Italy, UK, US, Czech Republic, and Poland give both a wide-ranging and in depth look at why unions succeed or fail in fights to contest intensifying precarity at work and to propose more socially sustainable alternatives"--

EU Health Systems and Distributive Justice uses theories of distributive justice to examine tensions created by the application of the Internal Market rules to the provision of health care services within the European Union. Using the concepts and principles embedded in the theories of egalitarianism and libertarianism, this book analyses the impact of the Internal Market rules on common values and principles shared by European health systems, such as universality, accessibility, equity and solidarity. This analysis is conducted using the specific issue of cross-border health care. This book makes innovative contributions to the study of the relationship between EU health systems and the Internal Market – it encompasses the analysis of all principles recognised by EU institutions as guiding principles of European health systems; it integrates human rights law and practice into the discussion of the EU Court of Justice’s approach to patient mobility cases; and it assesses the potential impact of the Internal Market over EU health systems through the lens of distributive justice, looking at the underlying principles of these systems that are mostly concerned with social justice. Ultimately, this is not a book on EU law and health care, but it is a book on distributive justice, health care and the principles and policies guiding European health systems.
