No / Despite the interest over recent years in the fragmentation of organizations and the development of contracting, little attention has been paid to the impact of the associated inter-organizational relationships on the internal organization of employment. Inter-organizational relations have been introduced primarily as a means of externalizing - and potentially rendering invisible - employment issues and employment relations. In a context where inter-organizational relationships appear to be growing in volume and diversity, this constitutes a significant gap in the literature that this paper in part aims to fill. The purpose of the paper is two-fold: to develop a framework for considering the internal and external organizational influences on employment and to apply this framework within a case study of a multi-client outsourcing call centre. We explore the interactions between internal objectives, client demands and the use of external contracting in relation to three dimensions of employment policy: managing the wage-effort bargain, managing flexibility and managing commitment and performance. It is the interplay between these factors in a dynamic context that provides, we suggest, the basis for a more general framework for considering human resource policy in permeable organizations.

Abordou, em traços gerais, a atuação do Estado nesse contexto, tendo em vista este permitir que as relações de trabalho sejam cada vez mais precarizadas pelos detentores dos meios de produção que têm o claro objetivo de majorarem seus lucros e de se inserirem na internacional competição mercadológica. Buscou-se analisar, ademais, dentro desse cenário socioeconômico, o papel do Direito, especialmente do Direito do Trabalho, por este ter como filosofia institucional a proteção da classe trabalhadora. Assim, esse estudo perquiriu o movimento, advindo da lógica neoliberal, em prol da flexibilização desses direitos, responsável por reduzir sobremaneira as garantias então asseguradas pelo Estado. A partir daí, começou-se a discutir o caráter contraditório do ramo jurídico, por entender que este está inserido na mesma lógica do capital, possibilitando o implemento de políticas deterioradoras dos direitos dos trabalhadores. Toda essa reflexão acerca da precarização das relações de trabalho e da flexibilização do Direito do Trabalho foi ratificada através da apresentação da análise empírica realizada através de jurisprudências consultadas no site do Tribunal Regional do Trabalho com jurisdição no Estado de Minas Gerais. Tal pesquisa permitiu observar o caráter legitimador do Direito quando este admite a possibilidade de contratação de trabalhadores pelas modalidades criadas para substituir a original contratação formal de trabalhadores, não protegendo, contudo, a parte hipossuficiente daquela relação jurídica. / The primary aim of this research is the historical relationship between capital and labour. In a capitalist world dominated by neoliberal ideology, this dichotomy still raises perplexity and concern on those who worry about the economical, political and social inequalities in capital-labour relations. This dissertation begins with a general approach on the actions of the State. Considering the absence of State intervention in the economy, this will lead to the precariousness of employment relationships and to the increasing capitalist exploitation of the work force. This context only favours the capitalist’s purposes of increasing its profits and taking part in the international competition market. This essay also intended to analyse the role of law - especially the Labour Law, due to its institutional philosophy focusing on the protection of the working class - in this economic scenario. Moreover, this study investigates the flexibilisation process of labour relations, a movement fostered by neo-liberal logic that advocates the deregulation of worker’s rights and constitutional guarantees. This flexibilisation process triggered the debate upon the contradictory character of labour law, because it is conceived under the logic of capitalist ideology, which justifies a number of policies to collaborate with the degrading of workers’ rights. All this reflection on the precariousness of labour relations and the flexibilisation of the Labour Law was confirmed by the empirical analysis carried out in order to select judicial decisions at site of the Regional Labour Court with jurisdiction in the State of Minas Gerais. This research led to the conclusion that Law is an important means of legitimizing the possibility of hiring workers by methods designed to replace the original formal labour contracts. However, in this context of flexibilisation, the weaker part of this legal relationship remains unprotected.

In South Africa, the expansion of early childhood development was projected in White Paper 5 and Grade R was determined as the reception year. One condition for the achievement of objectives in Grade R is quality education, in which the teacher plays an irreplaceable role. How effective the Grade R teacher is in the performance of her work, however, depends amongst others on how she experiences her work-life and the extent of her security as a professional in the workplace. The paucity in research on the labour law position of the Grade R educator is due to the relative low status of employees in the early childhood development sector. Professional security was approached from a labour law perspective to start filling the knowledge gap in Education Law on the labour law position of the Grade R teacher with this modest contribution. The execution of policy forms an integral part of the Grade R teacher's employment conditions and determines to a great extent her daily task. This research answers the central research question: which roles do law and policy play regarding the professional security of the grade R educator? The research approach was qualitative-interpretivistic in nature and included observation of Grade R teachers' workplaces, as well as semi-structured interviews. A group of Grade R educators in the Matlosana and Tlokwe areas in the North West Province as well as principals and heads of department in the Foundation Phase were also interviewed. Other stakeholders such as parents as members of school governing bodies, members of teachers' unions and university lecturers were also participants in the research. Data generation on a smaller scale took place in Ontario, Canada, where the respective roles of law and policy regarding the Full-Day Early Learning Kindergarten programmes in professional security was investigated. All the data was used to understand and describe professional security of Grade R educators better, and generalisation was not the goal. The conclusion was reached that the theoretical underpinnings of the five legal disciplines that were used in creating a legal framework for professional security, were particularly relevant for the work-life of the Grade R participants in the study. Two psychologically oriented theories have also contributed to a deeper understanding of professional security. Although legislation, in principle, supports professional security, the extent to which participants had knowledge of relevant legislation or could apply legal principles to the workplace affected their professional security. Ignorance amongst policy-makers and employers about the nature and purpose of Grade R education leads to the underestimation of the Grade R domain, which negatively affects appointments, remuneration, conditions of service and policy implementation. Ignorance of the law also led to educator misconduct, and issues related to delictual liability emerged. Moreover, participants, due to ignorance, took the law into their own hands to create their own security in the workplace. Professional security emerged as a key issue in both ECD policy implementation and quality teaching. Finally a number of propositions were derived from the conclusions. / PhD (Education Law), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Protection of employees in the event of transfer of employer The master's theses deals with the topic of the transfer of rights and obligations from employment relationships and related institutes of protection of the employees affected by the transfer. The topic is regulated at the European Union tier by Council Directive 2001/23/EC of 12 March 2001 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the safeguarding of employees' rights in the event of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses, which has been transposed into national law as Section XV of Part Thirteen of Act No. 262/2006 Coll., the Labour Code. The thesis introduces both tiers of legislation, the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic and evaluates the implementation of the Directive 2001/23/EC into the national system. The first part of the work is an explanatory one as it describes the meaning of some of the fundamental labour law terms and contexts for the purposes of the following text. The second part introduces the transfer of an undertaking, business or part thereof under the Directive 2001/23/EC and formation of the rules by the Court of Justice of the European Union, in particular the development of the...

Reconciliation of work and family life Abstract This thesis deals with the reconciliation of work and family life in the Czech Republic from a legal perspective. Finding a suitable balance between work and family life enables an individual to return to work sooner from maternity and parental leave. This balance also has a positive effect on the productivity of employees, birth rates, elimination of gender stereotypes and causes a reduction of the unemployment rate among women. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of the number of articles of employment law and social security law that are relevant to the issues of reconciliation of work and family life, to analyze the relevant legislation, and to draw attention to some practical problems. Also, the paper will evaluate the impact of this legislative framework and legal institutes on work and family life and recommend alterations "de lege ferenda". The thesis of this paper is that reconciliation of work and family life is an endless process and that there are several problem areas related to it that need improvement within the Czech Republic. The work is divided into three chapters. The first chapter identifies the main issues related to the reconciliation of work and family life. It gives the overview of the international,...
