  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  Partant du principe que l’amélioration du travail contribue à l’amélioration des sociétés, le défi qu’entend mettre en évidence l’introduction de ce numéro spécial de Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, consiste à déterminer ce qui rend le travail meilleur, ou pire, et comment il est possible de l’améliorer. Alors que des expériences très variées contribuent à façonner l’avenir de nos économies et de nos communautés, l’un des principaux enjeux consiste à s’engager dans un apprentissage partagé de ces processus afin de stimuler un dialogue entre l’aspiration à un meilleur travail et les conditions susceptibles de entraver ou de faciliter cette amélioration du travail. Cette démarche veut nous inciter à dépasser une conception étroite de la qualité de l’emploi pour adopter un point de vue plus large sur la manière dont les acteurs du monde du travail élaborent des stratégies, innovent et intègrent l’incertitude dans leur quête de solutions durables pour un travail de meilleure qualité. Les principaux thèmes de discussion sont les suivants : pourquoi le travail doit être meilleur (alors qu’il est souvent pire) ; pourquoi un meilleur travail permet-il d’améliorer les sociétés ; comment améliorer le travail ; quel est le rôle des institutions dans cette amélioration du travail ; comment, enfin, les stratégies syndicales sont-elles essentielles dans les processus d’expérimentation destinés à améliorer le travail.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  From the premise that better work makes for better societies, the challenge, taken up in the introduction to this special issue of Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, is to explore what makes work better, or worse, and how it can be improved. As a wide variety of experiments shape our economies and communities for the future, a key challenge is to engage in shared learning about these processes in order to stimulate a dialogue between the aspiration for better work and the conditions likely to hinder or facilitate making work better. It is an invitation to move from narrow conceptions of job quality to a broader lens of how world-of-work actors strategise, innovate and incorporate uncertainty into their search for sustainable solutions for better work. Key themes include: why work needs to be better (but is often worse); why better work makes for better societies; how work can be made better; the role of institutions in achieving better work; and, finally, how union strategies are essential to processes of experimentation to make work better.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  Training is identified as a key feature of good quality work. Labour market education and training in the United Kingdom, however, operates within a weak institutional context and state interest is reserved for supply issues. Employer demand for a skilled labour market is constrained and the burden of investment in training is left with the individual. Can adult training in the United Kingdom offer a pathway to better work and life outcomes, particularly for those who are already disadvantaged' Using a longitudinal nationally representative data set, the UK Understanding Society initiative (2010–2020), we identify the effects of different types of training and their intensity on life satisfaction. We assess how the impact of training on life satisfaction is moderated by the socio-demographic characteristics of the learner, namely, employment status, gender, ethnicity and migration status, age and deprivation of the area in which they live.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  This article argues that key avenues to improve working conditions – value chain integration, on the one hand, and lead firms’ compliance processes, on the other – have not resulted in improvements in the European apparel industry. Evidence is drawn from economic and social up-/downgrading trajectories in major apparel producing countries as well as a case study on social audits and labour market enforcement in the United Kingdom. Both suggest that institutions to prevent labour exploitation in supply chains have largely been ineffective. Institutional experimentation, which has been hybrid in combining hard and soft law as well as public and private governance elements, underlined the role of lead firms but continued to exclude civil society actors. It is argued that human rights due diligence, at the heart of many institutional experiments, draws on a deficient private compliance model, rather than building in worker-driven elements that could lead towards a better alternative.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  In France, the growth of digital labour platforms has benefited from the support that has been provided by one section of the governing political class for the sake of the ‘employment opportunities’ that they are expected to generate. However, their operating model, which relies on outsourced labour carried out by supposedly self-employed workers, has been the subject of inspection operations and objections initiated by the social security agencies and institutions that ensure compliance with labour law. Based on interviews with these stakeholders – labour and social security inspectors – this article illustrates how they are seeking to reintegrate these workers into the employed workforce, not only for the purpose of maintaining their safety at work but also with a view to preserving the French social model. These inspectors rely on their traditional control tools but also on the framing of anti-fraud policies. Ultimately, their actions seek to inform legal disputes with a view to reclassifying the workers concerned.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  The green transformation and Industry 4.0 are associated with considerable risks for workers in countries with dual labour markets such as Germany. The biggest risks are wage losses due to the involuntary transition into the precarious secondary labour market and insufficient education and training for the new ‘green’ jobs. Institutional reforms are necessary for a ‘just transition’. The ongoing reforms in Germany in education and training and wage setting show that the transition is a critical juncture in which new stakeholder constellations have the opportunity for non-path-dependent changes from a dual to an inclusive employment system with better work. The approaches adopted in recent German reforms are of overarching interest. Featuring the strongest manufacturing base in Europe, Germany is under particularly high pressure to fully embrace the green transformation and digitalisation. The country has learned from other countries and, conversely, can perhaps also help trigger a just transition in other countries.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  Much has been written about the precarious nature of platform work, whether in high-income or less advanced economies. The lack of alternative employment opportunities and the high level of informal work in the latter are often assumed to be the key incentive for local workers to take on platform work. There is however little research on how exactly local conditions affect workers’ choices and most importantly on the factors making them accept the precariousness of platform labour. Based on 40 interviews with ride-hailing drivers in Tbilisi, the capital of the Republic of Georgia, this article argues that, rather than the lack of alternative opportunities, the poor quality of available jobs and the lack of social protection are the factors leading workers to accept and internalise precariousness, making the inherent features of app-based work seem normal.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  In this article we examine work reorganisation in technician units at France Télécom (FT/Orange) following the social crisis associated with employee suicides in 2007–2009. As a result of trade union campaigns and changes in leadership, the company moved to a more collaborative model, relying on broadened skills and enhanced worker participation in decision-making. Drawing on the framework of organisational and institutional experimentation, we argue that the crisis provided an opportunity to shift from top-down, Taylorised practices to a high-involvement model based on multi-skilled teams. This new model fostered mutual gains for workers in terms of increased autonomy and broadened skills, and for the employer through improved efficiency and customer service. It was underpinned, however, by the strengthening of labour’s countervailing power following the social crisis, which encouraged and supported managers in prioritising psychosocial health as a key organisational objective.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  This article explains how digitally mediated provision of domestic care services perpetuates the invisibility and informality of such work through individualising risk, which we operationalise by one of its dimensions, that of unpaid labour. We understand unpaid labour as the cost of the risk borne individually by workers at the intersection of the social (inter-personal) and economic (monetary) spheres. Drawing on the experiences of domestic care workers providing their services through platforms, the study shows how platforms have made their way into the labour markets and welfare structures of two mature economies, Belgium and France. Via their (digital) rules, they pursue ‘regulatory compliance’ and ‘disruption’ as distinct strategies for establishing platform dominance, albeit with country-based differences. Platform-mediated employment outcomes remain generally unrecognised, undocumented and informal, with unpaid labour characterising the cost of the individualisation of risk.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  Southern European countries, with their apparently high degree of collective bargaining centralisation and state regulations, may seem to be little affected by the EU Directive on adequate minimum wages. This article looks at the case of Italy, the EU country generally reported to have the highest collective bargaining coverage in Europe, to show how the situation on the ground is more problematic than conventional indicators suggest. Not only does Italy lack a national minimum wage and a legal framework for collective bargaining extension, but its apparent high level of collective bargaining coverage is vulnerable to wage dumping practices. The article identifies the weaknesses of the Italian system and proposes some possible lines of reform.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  EU leaders have agreed to reduce the number of people who are at risk of poverty or social exclusion by 15 million (including at least five million children) by 2030. This article explores this ambitious target and analyses the positioning of the field throughout the EU’s broader governance hierarchy, as well as the governance arrangements within the field. It finds that throughout such governance arrangements, the issue of being at risk of poverty or social exclusion is largely dealt with by intergovernmental agreements and is thereby a third-order priority for the EU, with economic integration first-order and employment policy second-order. Meanwhile, within the field EU governance arrangements are currently being transformed to further encourage the Member States to take action. While this is a significant development, the overall ability of the EU to reduce the number of those at risk of poverty or social exclusion requires the field to move beyond its current third-order status.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  Focusing on two key instruments, the Just Transition Fund and the Social Climate Fund, this article assesses to what extent the EU’s pledge for a ‘just transition’ has the potential to foster greater social justice while implementing the European Green Deal. We analyse the related objectives, policy tools and patterns of political conflict and find that both Funds have narrow objectives anchored in a reactive logic complementing existing social investment initiatives with a focus on reskilling the workforce hit by decarbonisation. Both instruments rely on multi-level investment aiming to generate green growth, combined with targeted compensation for the more vulnerable. This, we argue, is not conducive to a just transition that addresses the intersection of environmental and social problems in a holistic way. Finally, various political fault lines pose the threat that EU action will be insufficient to tackle exacerbated inequalities in the future.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  When does the EU employment growth agenda also serve social progress' Scholars concerned with the equality/efficiency trade-off generally look at the EU as an agenda-setter. Little attention has yet been paid to its role as direct provider of social rights. Building on a data set of 71 EU measures and 317 judgments of the Court of Justice of the EU, this article evaluates the extent to which EU employment policies helped to advance social citizenship by assessing the scope and distribution of individual entitlements over time (2009–2022). Our findings show that, after almost two decades of silence, the EU not only expanded the scope of its influence over individual social rights but also took an inclusive turn, driven by more ‘universalising’ and ‘capacitating’ initiatives. Looking ahead, better monitoring of the distributive profile of EU initiatives indirectly affecting rights production (such as SURE or the Recovery and Resilience Facility) would help to ensure that this shift increasingly benefits those needing it the most.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  Social Europe is not only back but, we aim to show, bigger and bolder than ever before. Through historical comparison we make the case that, rather than being a false dawn, legislative developments linked to the 2017 European Pillar of Social Rights (Pillar or EPSR) beckon such a significant and broad-based burgeoning of Social Europe that it can be characterised as the ‘Roaring 20s’ for Social Europe. This is quite a surprise based on recent Social Europe history, the Pillar itself and established EU competence limits and practices. How Social Europe has defied these justifiably low expectations is the primary focus of this analysis. It aims to characterise and illustrate what we see as a new and quite dramatic turn for Social Europe.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  Ausgehend von der Prämisse, dass bessere Arbeit zu besseren Gesellschaften führt, besteht die Aufgabe der Einleitung dieser Themenausgabe von Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research darin festzustellen, was Arbeit besser oder schlechter macht, und wie wir Arbeit verbessern können. Da eine Vielzahl von Versuchsanordnungen mitbestimmend für die zukünftige Ausgestaltung unserer Volkswirtschaften und Gemeinschaften ist, besteht eine wichtige Herausforderung darin, gemeinsam etwas über diese Prozesse zu lernen und auf diese Weise einen Dialog über den Wunsch nach besserer Arbeit und über die Rahmenbedingungen anzuregen, die eine Verbesserung von Arbeitsbedingungen eher erschweren oder eher unterstützen. Damit ist die Aufforderung verbunden, sich von zu eng gefassten Vorstellungen von Arbeitsplatzqualität zu verabschieden und stattdessen mit einer umfassenderen Perspektive danach zu fragen, wie die Akteure der Arbeitswelt strategisch und innovativ vorgehen und vorhandene Unsicherheiten zu einem Aspekt der Suche nach nachhaltigen Lösungen für eine bessere Arbeitswelt machen. Zu den Schlüsselthemen gehören die Fragen, warum Arbeit besser gemacht werden muss, stattdessen aber oft schlechter wird; warum bessere Arbeit zu besseren Gesellschaften führt; wie Arbeit besser gestaltet werden kann; welche Rolle bestimmte Institutionen bei der Verbesserung der Arbeitswelt übernehmen können; und schließlich die Frage, inwiefern Gewerkschaftsstrategien für experimentelle Prozesse zur Verbesserung von Arbeit essenziell sind.

  Abstract: Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, Ahead of Print.
  This article seeks to advance our thinking about better and worse work by developing a novel framework for assessing the quality of work and its implications. It does so in terms of the wider literature on job quality, while addressing the need to embrace a broader agenda and a more dynamic understanding of how to make worse work better. To this end it presents a three-dimensional framework: risk, autonomy and expressiveness. The framework assesses better and worse work and the ways in which workers navigate between these different dimensions of their lives at work. We explore implications for actor strategies and for researchers to take a better-work agenda forward.
