Abstract

During the early- to mid-2010s, there was a dramatic upsurge in conservative legislation restricting labor unions in U.S. states. The sweeping Republican victories at the state level in the 2010 midterm elections certainly enabled this legislative surge, though not all states controlled by conservative governments passed such legislation and there was considerable variation in the number of laws passed among states that did. Understanding the conditions under which restrictive labor laws are passed is important for labor scholarship as well as broader academic debates on corporate power and political influence. Using a longitudinal negative binomial regression analysis, this article evaluates the role of organized business and conservative mobilization on state labor policies between 2011 and 2016. Our findings are consistent with and extend literature emphasizing the growing influence of corporate interests on politics today. At the same time, the authors find little support for explanations emphasizing the economic aftershocks of the Great Recession and public opinion and find no evidence that grassroots pressure impacted state laws.
保守主义思潮与美国的劳工政策
在2010年代早期到中期,美国各州限制工会的保守立法急剧上升。共和党在2010年中期选举中在州一级的大获全胜,当然促成了立法的激增,尽管并非所有由保守派政府控制的州都通过了此类立法,而且在通过法律的州之间,通过的法律数量也存在很大差异。了解限制性劳动法通过的条件对劳工研究以及关于公司权力和政治影响的更广泛的学术辩论都很重要。本文采用纵向负二项回归分析,评估了2011 - 2016年有组织的企业和保守动员对国家劳工政策的作用。我们的研究结果与强调当今企业利益对政治的影响越来越大的文献相一致。与此同时,作者发现强调大衰退的经济余震和公众舆论的解释几乎没有得到支持,也没有发现基层压力影响州法律的证据。
