The leading academic authorities contributing to this book have
been involved in major studies carried out for international
organisations, individual governments, and national trades' union
organisations; in Vulnerable Workers they consider the growth of
job insecurity, the prevalence of flexible or temporary work, and
the emergence of precarious forms of self-employment. They look at
the new market economies of post-communist Eastern Europe and
China, where economic development may occur at the expense of
workers' lives and health; 'misclassification' by employers of
workers as 'contractors', denying them access to rights; and the
plight of migrant, transient and 'invisible' workers. The impact of
supply chain business strategies on the most vulnerable workers;
and on the complex relationships between levels of job security and
the presence of different kinds of risks are similarly assessed.
The contributors also propose responses to the challenges they
highlight. The role of employee representatives is examined,
together with the potential to enhance worker capability through
organisational change. New legislative approaches, and changes to
traditional compensation and social security systems are
considered. Academics and researchers, policy makers, regulators,
trades unionists and occupational health professionals - and wise
employers - will all find a use for this book.
