Abstract

Using a critical employment relations approach, the chapter illustrates the implications of labour market reforms for workers. It traces changes in public policy and includes worker reflections on their conditions from data collected during 2018–2019. It unravels the antagonistic and conflict-driven elements of the employment relationship; a relationship that has been re-shaped by the active role of the State whose intervention favoured the employers' side at the expense of employees' interests. In addition, to shed light on the effects of the pandemic that broke out in February–March 2020, the chapter also draws upon secondary data such as newspaper articles and reports, as access to workers during the pandemic was practically difficult while the latter is still evolving. The chapter concludes by demonstrating that the crisis and labour market reforms was an opportunity for employers to introduce and implement a cost-cutting agenda that was in clear conflict with basic facets of a decent work agenda.
在希腊酒店业实现体面工作的结构性障碍:关键的就业关系方法
本章采用关键的雇佣关系方法,说明了劳动力市场改革对工人的影响。它追踪了公共政策的变化,并从2018-2019年收集的数据中纳入了工人对其状况的反思。它揭示了雇佣关系中的对抗和冲突驱动因素;这种关系由于国家的积极作用而被重新塑造,国家的干预以牺牲雇员的利益为代价偏袒雇主一方。此外,为了阐明2020年2月至3月爆发的大流行的影响,本章还利用了报纸文章和报告等二手数据,因为在大流行期间接触工人实际上很困难,而后者仍在不断发展。本章最后指出,危机和劳动力市场改革是雇主引入和实施削减成本议程的一个机会,而这一议程显然与体面工作议程的基本方面存在冲突。
