Abstract

Abstract This paper presents the results of research, which highlights the situation during the pandemic in sectors characterised by low wages and a high turnover of workers. The empirical basis is formed by company case studies in the meat industry, postal services, and mask production in Germany and Austria. This paper discusses the significance of different locations (at and beyond the workplace) and forms (‘exit’ and ‘voice’) of labour unrest in sectors of the economy that are characterised by a predominance of the use of migrant labour. It questions how conflicts over migrant labour have been articulated and possibly changed in the pandemic, and what factors may have contributed not only to an upsurge but also to the containment, regulation, and repression, of labour unrest.
大流行期间的移民和劳工骚乱:来自德国和奥地利的研究
摘要:本文介绍了研究结果,重点介绍了疫情期间工资低、工人流动率高的部门的情况。实证基础是通过对德国和奥地利的肉类行业、邮政服务和口罩生产的公司案例研究形成的。本文讨论了在以使用外来劳动力占主导地位为特征的经济部门中,不同地点(在工作场所内外)和形式(“退出”和“声音”)劳工骚乱的重要性。报告提出了以下问题:围绕移徙劳工的冲突是如何明确表达的,以及在疫情中可能发生的变化,哪些因素可能不仅导致了劳工骚乱的高涨,还导致了对劳工骚乱的遏制、管制和镇压。

期刊介绍: The Economic & Labour Relations Review is a double-blind, peer-reviewed journal that aims to bring together research in economics and labour relations in a multi-disciplinary approach to policy questions. The journal encourages articles that critically assess dominant orthodoxies, as well as alternative models, thereby facilitating informed debate. The journal particularly encourages articles that adopt a post-Keynesian (heterodox) approach to economics, or that explore rights-, equality- or justice-based approaches to labour relations and social policy.
