ABSTRACT

In Britain, employment protection legislation developed in ways far more dynamic, contradictory and toothless than is commonly assumed by conventional theories. Contrary to prevailing understanding, the first job security laws were intended to increase labor market flexibility, encourage mobility and undermine union power. They were introduced by Conservative governments, curiously offering organized labor some benefits, even though both sides of industry opposed legal intervention. Hence, job security could be obtained and extended without capital (and at first labor’s) consent. What is more, opposite to the liberalizing pressures one would expect to see in an archetypal market economy, the UK has been characterized by far more protective measures than deregulatory ones. However, the record shows that in many ways they have failed to offer tangible benefits to workers. Thus, there is a significant gap between law in the statute books and law in action. Additionally, two-tier labor market reform has contributed to the growing dualism between insiders and outsiders and might explain why deregulation of temporary employment has been the name of the game in the last couple of decades in the UK.

英国就业保护立法的发展(1963-2013)

摘要

在英国,就业保护立法的发展方式远比传统理论通常假设的更有活力、更矛盾、更无用武之地。与普遍的理解相反,第一份工作保障法旨在增加劳动力市场的灵活性,鼓励流动并削弱工会权力。它们是由保守党政府引入的,奇怪的是为有组织的劳工提供了一些好处,尽管行业双方都反对法律干预。因此,可以在没有资本(以及最初的劳动力)同意的情况下获得和扩展工作保障。此外,与人们预期在典型市场经济中看到的自由化压力相反,英国的特点是保护措施远多于放松管制措施。然而,记录表明,他们在很多方面都未能为工人提供切实的好处。因此,成文法典中的法律与行动中的法律之间存在重大差距。此外,两级劳动力市场改革助长了内部人员和外部人员之间日益增长的二元论,这或许可以解释为什么在过去的几十年里,解除对临时就业的管制一直是英国的游戏名称。
