Regulation and Precarious Work
Sat, August 8, 2:00 to 3:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
If researchers on work and labor have identified precarity as the key feature that characterizes work today, there is much less certainty or agreement on strategies for countering precarity. To what extent can legal remedies work? Under what conditions are they appropriate? What role do unions have to play? What strategies have worked, and which have not? This session brings together a group of papers to examine these questions and more.
