Working Disasters: The Politics Of Recognition And Response, Eric Tucker
Working Disasters: The Politics Of Recognition And Response, Eric Tucker
Eric M. Tucker
Every day, workers are injured, made ill, or killed on the job. Most often, workers experience these harms individually and in isolation. Particular occurrences rarely attract much public attention beyond, perhaps, a small paragraph in the local newspaper. Instead, these events are normalized. This membrane of normalcy, however, is ruptured from time to time, especially after a disaster. This edited collection draws together original case studies written by leading researchers in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, and the United States that examine the politics of working disasters. The essays address two fundamental questions: what gets recognized as a work disaster? …
Giving Voice To The Precariously Employed? Mapping And Exploring Channels Of Worker Voice In Occupational Health And Safety Regulation, Eric Tucker
Eric M. Tucker
In most contemporary occupational health and safety (OHS) regimes, great emphasis is placed on amplifying worker voice in regulation through worker health and safety representation in the employers’ OHS management system. Historically, these regimes were designed on the assumption that the workers who would use these mechanisms were full-time workers having secure jobs with their current employers. This is manifestly no longer true, posing a serious challenge to the efficacy of these regimes. After setting out the historical context of worker voice in OHS regulation, this paper begins by mapping out eight channels of worker voice based on the combination …

Layers Of Vulnerability In Occupational Health And Saftey For Migrant Workers: Case Studies From Canada And The United Kingdom, Malcolm Sargeant, Eric Tucker
Layers Of Vulnerability In Occupational Health And Saftey For Migrant Workers: Case Studies From Canada And The United Kingdom, Malcolm Sargeant, Eric Tucker
Eric M. Tucker
In many high-income countries, like Canada and the United Kingdom, there has recently been a significant increase in the number of migrant workers entering and participating in their labour markets. This article is concerned with the implications of this phenomenon for protective labour laws and, in particular, for occupational health and safety regulation. We identify a framework for assessing the OHS vulnerabilities of migrant workers, using a layered approach which assists in identifying the risk factors. Using this layer of vulnerability framework, we compare the situation of at-risk migrant workers in Canada and the United Kingdom.
