Liberal market economies used to govern workplace employment relationships through collective bargaining. This institution has been allowed, or encouraged, to wither. The assumption is that governance at the level of the workplace will produce efficiency and also fairness. The evidence for this assumption is questionable, as illustrated by the limited take-up of claimed efficiency-inducing practices and growing inequality and work pressures. Thinking in terms of ‘beneficial constraints ’ helps to identify ways in which regulation through constraints can in fact produce long-term gains. Concrete ways of putting these ideas into effect do not necessarily imply new regulations. A key need is to make existing rights meaningful and to encourage genuine dialogue about firms ’ strategic options. This paper has three key terms and one argument linking them together. A workplace regime is the set of practices operating at the level of the workplace that manages employees and promotes their active co-operation in the productive process. These practices cover pay, training, the organization of the work task, commitment

To solve the problem, we are going to update or re-establish the old control networks, and develop a method tying parcel boundary points to nearby

alternative schemes for maintaining network connections used to provide multimedia service, as hosts move through a nano-cellular radio network. These algorithms modify existing connections by partially reestablishing them to perform handoffs. Using a simple analytical model, we compare the schemes

Abstract – In heterogeneous environments, devices accessible in different networks may help to provide new opportunities for utilizing new services when they are connected efficiently. In mobile ad hoc networks, it is very difficult in maintaining the links among the devices, because

This expression has been proposed to mediate: (i) fast synchronization of motoneuronal spike activity, in turn linked to the process of refine-ment of neuromuscular connections, and (ii) slow synchronization

connections are reestablished. In this paper we show how maintaining cache coherence at a large granularity alleviates this problem. We report on the implementation and performance of large granularity cache coherence for the Coda File System. Our measurements confirm the value of this technique. At 9.6 Kbps

Sea by benthic foraminifera is essentially synchronous with the re-establishment of marine connections through the Dardanelles Strait atV12 ka. ByV10 ka, Ammonia-dominated faunas developed on the strait-exit delta (v1) at the southern end of the Bosphorus, and at V9.1 ka the appearance of fully marine
