Legally Enforceable Peace Obligations, Trade Union Mediation, and Workshop Industrial Action

Article Abstract:

Governments have adopted both restrictive labor legislation to inhibit strikes and also reformist legislation to allow institutional avenues of collective bargaining. Sweden, Germany, and the United States impose legally enforceable peace obligations or no-strike clauses on certain workers. In Sweden, the loss of the right to strike is balanced by a higher than usual level of political influence by the union. In Germany, it is balanced by the preservation of an industry-wide bargaining system. These exchanges between government and labor minimize the occurrence of crippling strikes.

Socialist Arguments for Industrial Democracy

Article Abstract:

Industrial Democracy (ID), or worker's control, has long been accepted by many. But support for the concept must be logically based. The argument that ID is a more efficient organization is clearly debatable. A political argument that industrial life is a political life can only be accepted with the addition of a moral argument. This argument states that not only goods, but also the quality of behavior is valued by society. Therefore, the case for ID is based upon moral claims about the value of work.
