Across the United States, increasing numbers of employers are
breaking, bending, or evading long-established laws and standards
designed to protect workers, from the minimum wage to job safety
standards to the right to organize. This "gloves-off economy," no
longer confined to a marginal set of sweatshops and fly-by-night
small businesses, is sending shock waves into every corner of the
low-wage labor market. In the process, employers who play by the
rules are under growing pressure to follow suit, intensifying the
search for low-cost business strategies across a wide range of
industries and ratcheting up into ever higher reaches of the labor
market. Although other books have touched on pieces of this
problem, The Gloves-off Economy is the first to provide a
comprehensive, integrated analysis and quite a disturbing one.This
book examines a range of gloves-off practices, the workers who are
affected by them, and strategies for enforcing workplace standards.
The editors, four respected labor scholars, have brought together
economists, sociologists, labor attorneys, union strategists, and
other experts to offer varying perspectives on both the problem and
the creative solutions currently being explored in a wide range of
communities and industries. Annette Bernhardt, Heather Boushey,
Laura Dresser, and Chris Tilly and the volume's other authors
combine rigorous analysis with a stirring call to renew worker
protections in the twenty-first century."
