摘要

对全球生产网络中劳工标准的私人监管的研究往往强调了它们的持续失败,尽管领先的公司不再认为它们只是粉饰门面。很少有分析深入研究它们对工人的实际效益。本文结合具体情况的方法和定量分析,研究私人监管中使用的劳工标准是否改善了全球生产网络供应商的就业关系。基于对巴西的单一国家案例研究,我们考察了各部门供应商采用这些标准的程度,它们与国家劳工机构的互补性,以及在供应商现场采用劳工标准是否有可能支持劳工机构。我们的研究结果表明,劳工标准在这些方面的有效性很低。仅在供应商层面存在的劳工标准没有重大影响,而且各部门差异很大。只有当工人们意识到这些标准的存在时,当工会成员被视为代理人时,它才可能支持他们的机构。然而,这种相关性也可能是相反的:对劳工标准的认识首先取决于是否是工会的一员。关键词:私人监管;证明劳动标准;企业社会责任;全球生产网络

Do Labour Standards Improve Employment Relationships in Global Production Networks? A Cross-sector Study in Brazil
Research on private regulation of labour standards in global production networks often highlights their continuing failure despite the fact that lead firms no longer consider them as mere window dressing. Fewer analyses delve into their on-the-ground effectiveness to benefit workers. This article joins a context-specific approach with quantitative analysis to examine whether labour standards used in private regulation improve employment relationships in suppliers of global production networks. Based on a single-country case study of Brazil, we look at the extent of their adoption by suppliers across sectors, their complementarity with national labour institutions, and whether the adoption of labour standards at supplier site level is likely to support labour agency. Our findings show little effectiveness of labour standards against those dimensions. The presence of labour standards at supplier level alone has no significant impact and varies greatly across sectors. It is only if workers are aware of the presence of such standards that it might support their agency when union membership is taken as proxy. Yet, the correlation could also be the other way round: awareness of labour standards depend on being a member of a union in the first place.  KEYWORDS: private regulation; certification; labour standards; corporate social responsibility (CSR); global production networks
