Exit, Voice, and Solidarity: Contesting Precarity in the US and European Telecommunications Industries
Doellgast, Virginia (Professor of Comparative Employment Relations, Professor of Comparative Employment Relations, Cornell University)
Downsizing, outsourcing, and intensifying performance management have become common features of corporate restructuring. They have also helped to drive up job insecurity and inequality. Under what conditions do companies take alternative approaches to restructuring that balance market demands for profits with social demands for high quality jobs? In Exit, Voice, and Solidarity, Doellgast compares strategies to reorganize service jobs in the US and Europeantelecommunications industry.
Market liberalization and shareholder pressure pushed employers to adopt often draconian cost cutting measures, while labor unions pushed back with creative collective bargaining and organizing campaigns. Their success depended on the intersection of three factors: constraints on employer exit, support for collective worker voice, and strategies of inclusive labor solidarity. Together, these proved to be crucial sources of worker power in fights to keep high quality jobs within core employers,while extending decent pay and conditions across increasingly complex networks of subsidiaries, subcontractors, temporary agencies.
Based on the findings of ten case studies of incumbent telecom companies in Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Germany, France, Italy, UK, US, Czech Republic, and Poland, thisbook provides an original framework in restructuring strategies and outcomes.
