When discussing exploitation in workplaces, governments typically
deploy a rhetoric of personal responsibility: they place attention
on employers who take advantage of workers, or on workers who
choose non-standard, precarious work arrangements. On this account,
the responsibility of the state is to address the harm inflicted by
private actors. This book questions that approach and develops the
concept of 'state-mediated structural injustice at work': a
phenomenon which manifests when legislation that has an appearance
of legitimacy, in fact has very damaging effects for large numbers
of people and results in structures of exploitation at work. Using
a series of examples such as migrant workers, captive workers,
people under welfare conditionality schemes, and other precarious
workers, Mantouvalou shows how the law creates these structures of
injustice, entrenching long-term, standard, and routine
exploitation. She also assesses these examples against human rights
principles, including civil, political, economic, and social
rights. The ultimate aim of the work is to show that these
structures routinely lead to workers' exploitation which may in
turn give rise to state responsibility for human rights violations
and to argue that there is a pressing need for reform.
