Domestic violence and work: setting a workplace agenda Labour & Industry: a journal of the social and economic relations of work Pub Date : 2023-01-26 Mihajla Gavin, Ruth Weatherall
ABSTRACT The role and responsibilities of workplaces in responding to domestic violence is emergent.

ABSTRACT This study reveals the centrality of the exploitation of the worker body in the marketised context of aged care in Australia.

Theorising domestic violence and work: where are we now and where to next? Labour & Industry: a journal of the social and economic relations of work Pub Date : 2023-01-09 Ruth Weatherall
ABSTRACT The sentiments ‘it’s just good business’ and ‘it’s the right thing to do’ are commonly heard when discussing workplace domestic violence provisions. These two statements represent two divergent ways of theorising the relationship between domestic violence and work.

ABSTRACT Management scholars increasingly focus their efforts on the development of neurodivergent human capital and the promotion of inclusive employment and decent work.

Protecting paid domestic workers under lockdown: Latin American strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic Labour & Industry: a journal of the social and economic relations of work Pub Date : 2022-03-14 Lorena Poblete
ABSTRACT Most domestic workers in Latin America earn low wages and have no formal contract.

Many other workers suffered suspensions without pay or redundancy without severance. Governments across the region thus sought to develop new strategies

Rebuilding worker power in Australia through multi-employer bargaining Labour & Industry: a journal of the social and economic relations of work Pub Date : 2021-11-29 Tim Kennedy, Ben Redford, Renee Burns, Anthony Forsyth
ABSTRACT The Australian Council of Trade Union’s Change the Rules campaign from 2017 to 2019 demanded enterprise bargaining be redesigned to fit the modern world of work. Unions argued collective bargaining should not be limited to the outdated framework of the ‘enterprise’. Workers should be able to bargain with the host business in labour hire; with franchisors; with lead businesses in supply chains;
