Der Politikwissenschaftler Christian Kube betrachtet sie in „Immigration und Arbeitsk{\"a}mpfe in den USA" am Beispiel mexikanischer Einwanderer in Kalifornien. Der Autor analysiert das Verh{\"a}ltnis zwischen Arbeitern aus Mexiko und der US-amerikanischen Arbeiterbewegung, insbesondere den Gewerkschaften. Er tut dies an zwei Fallbeispielen, in denen Gewerkschaften versuchten bzw. versuchen, in Kalifornien transnationale Arbeiter zu organisieren: Zum einen wird das Los Angeles Manufacturing Project (LAMAP) betrachtet, zum anderen der immer noch andauernde Arbeitskampf in der Mandelfabrik Blue Diamond Growers (BDG) in Sacramento/Kalifornien. Abschließend wird die Frage beantwortet, ob die traditionellen Gewerkschaften der USA f{\"u}r die Interessenvertretung und Integration von Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund im Niedriglohnsektor geeignet sind. Christian Kube ist der Ansicht, dass sie einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Organisation transnationaler Arbeiter leisten m{\"u}ssen, da es derzeit keine ann{\"a}hernd so mitgliederstarken Institutionen wie die Gewerkschaften in den USA gibt.}, language = {de} } @misc{Rehder2005, author = {Rehder, Britta}, title = {Mitbestimmung im Investitionswettbewerb}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-9764}, year = {2005}, abstract = {This article explores the impact of the internationalised economy on work relationships between German companies and their subsidiaries in Eastern and Central Europe.

This study aims at providing a model framework which is amenable for an analysis of this issue. Our general-equilibrium approach integrates a dual labor market and a two-sector product market. The results suggest that the so-called 'union wage gap' is largely determined by the degree of centralization of the bargains, and, to a somewhat lesser extent, by the expenditure share of the unionized sector's goods.}, subject = {Verhandlungstheorie}, language = {en} } @misc{Victor2019, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Victor, Vincent}, title = {The Role of Bargaining Power}, series = {Potsdam Economic Papers}, journal = {Potsdam Economic Papers}, number = {6}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-449-4}, issn = {2197-8069}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-42068}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-420689}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Neoclassical theory omits the role of bargaining power in the determination of wages. As a result, the importance of changes in the bargaining position for the development of income shares in the last decades is underestimated. This paper presents a theoretical argument why collective bargaining power is a main determinant of workers' share of income and how its decline contributed to the severe changes in the distribution of income since the 1980s. In order to confirm this hypothesis, a panel data regression analysis is performed that suggests that unions significantly influence the distribution of income in developed countries.}, language = {en} }
