A study on the effects of unequal distributions of political power on the extent and provision of collective labour rights.
|
|
It is a combination of quantitative global comparison with qualitative case studies for Argentina and Chile.
|
|
It finds that, for societies in which power is more unequally distributed, collective bargaining possibilities are more limited and weaker.
|
|
It suggests that, aside from a less entrenched trade unionization in the country, the primary channel for the its weakening are that existing collective labour rights are often either restricted or disregarded outright.
|
|
Employers were restricted in their ability to effectively conduct lobbying, and made more vulnerable to what the authors suggest are 'divide-and-conquer' strategies by government with a strongly entrenched trade unionization, due to being more separate and uncoordinated.
|
|
A limit is the strong institutional context of the two countries which makes generalizable application of its underlying channels more difficult to the overarching quantitative analysis of inequality outcomes.
