Abstract

Abstract In recent migration research temporality has become a prominent figure. Focussing on temporality allows to shed light on some aspects of labour mobility that enlighten our understanding of work-related conflicts. Especially with view to labour market inclusion, migrants often experience the (assumed) temporal limitation and unpredictability of migration projects, work and residence permits, as well as employment relationships. Correspondingly, labour policies, sector-specific company structures and management techniques also have a temporal dimension (time limits, seasonality, outsourcing schemes), which have effects on conflicts in and around work. Furthermore, one has to situate labour and labour migration within its context of social reproduction in order to better understand, how paid wage labour is embedded in social activities and networks such as households, families and communities, and shaped by the social, developmental and migratory policies that condition workers’ labour market inclusion. This conceptual paper argues that for migrants in particular, the (assumed) temporal limitation and unpredictability of migration projects, work/residence permits, and employment relationships is of great importance when it comes to analysing conflict-ridden negotiations over labour relations and working conditions.

阶级冲突的年表。与劳工移徙有关的冲突的时间方面的相关性

在近年来的移民研究中，时间性已成为一个突出的问题。关注临时性可以揭示劳动力流动的某些方面，从而启发我们对工作相关冲突的理解。特别是在纳入劳动力市场方面，移徙者往往遇到移徙项目、工作和居留许可以及就业关系的(假定的)时间限制和不可预测性。相应地，劳工政策、特定部门的公司结构和管理技术也具有时间因素(时间限制、季节性、外包计划)，这对工作内部和工作周围的冲突有影响。此外，人们必须将劳动力和劳动力迁移置于社会再生产的背景下，以便更好地理解，有偿雇佣劳动如何嵌入社会活动和网络，如家庭、家庭和社区，并受到影响工人劳动力市场包容性的社会、发展和移民政策的影响。这篇概念性论文认为，对于移民来说，(假设的)时间限制和移民项目的不可预测性，工作/居留许可，以及雇佣关系，在分析关于劳资关系和工作条件的冲突谈判时非常重要。

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.
