SUMMARY:WORK AND NON-WORK\, TODAY. Reframing the Issue through an Interdisciplinary Perspective
DESCRIPTION:XV Edition of the Conference Series “The New Great Transformation of Work”. 26-28 November\, Bergamo (Italy). \nThe XV edition of the conference series The New Great Transformation of Work is organised in partnership with the CIELO Laboral network. \nThe concept of work – and what we define as “non-work” – is constantly evolving. From the boundaries between formal and informal work\, productive and reproductive labour\, to the role of labour market institutions and intermediary bodies in regulating and defining these spaces\, the issue lies at the heart of understanding the transformations currently underway. \nThe XV edition of the international conference organised by ADAPT’s International School of Higher Education in Labour and Industrial Relations aims to provide an opportunity to explore this theme in all its complexity\, creating a space for dialogue that includes not only the academic community but also those actors who\, in various ways and contexts\, contribute to shaping the world of work—yet are often overlooked or marginalised. In this spirit\, the conference will examine diverse forms of work (such as care work\, domestic work\, the performing arts\, sport\, and internships)\, as well as issues related to in-work poverty\, temporary employment\, and precarious work. The aim is to move beyond the rigid divide between what is currently recognised as “work” and what is not\, adopting an international\, comparative\, and interdisciplinary perspective. \nThe conference will feature three plenary sessions and no fewer than twenty-three parallel thematic workshops. Over the course of the three days\, more than 200 speakers from over twenty-five countries around the world will take part. Full Programme: https://internationalconference.adapt.it/full-programme-2025/ \nAs always\, ADAPT has made a strong commitment to ensuring that the event remains open and free of charge for both speakers and participants. Drawing on our long-standing experience in promoting open-access research\, we believe in science that is accessible to all—starting with early-career researchers and those who lack the resources to carry out research within their institutions or to take part in international opportunities for academic exchange. \nParticipation in the conference is free\, subject to registration via the online form: https://internationalconference.adapt.it/registration/ \nUpdates and notices regarding the #ADAPTConference2025 (social media hashtag) will be communicated on the official website of the event internationalconference.adapt.it and through the social media channels: @ADAPT_Bulletin (X in English)\, @adaptland (X in Italian)\, @adaptland (Instagram)\, ADAPT (Facebook) and ADAPT International (LinkedIn in English)\, ADAPT (LinkedIn in Italian).

SUMMARY:Lavoro fuori dal contratto e fuori dal mercato. Prospettive giuslavoristiche sul lavoro volontario\, carcerario\, di cura e dei disoccupati
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Conference of the ADAPT International Conference \nThe Pre-Conference\, held in Italian\, will open the XV edition of the ADAPT International Conference\, dedicated this year to the theme “Work and Non-Work\, Today. Rethinking the Concept through an Interdisciplinary Perspective”.\nThe event\, titled “Lavoro fuori dal contratto e fuori dal mercato” (Work Beyond the Contract and Beyond the Market)\, will offer a labour law reflection on forms of activity that fall outside the traditional boundaries of subordinate employment and the market\, such as voluntary work\, prison labour\, care work\, and the activities of the unemployed.\nIt will be an opportunity to reflect on how labour law can redefine its own scope of action in light of the transformations that are constantly reshaping the very meaning of “work.”\nThe event will be introduced and moderated by Francesco Seghezzi\, President of ADAPT\, and will feature presentations by: \n\nDomenico Garofalo\, President of the Italian Association of Labour and Social Security Law\nValerio Maio\, Full Professor of Labour Law\, University Unitelma Sapienza of Rome\nFrancesca Malzani\, Full Professor of Labour Law\, University of Brescia\nElena Signorini\, Associate Professor of Labour Law\, University of Bergamo\n\nScheduled contributions will follow by Michele Dalla Sega and Giorgio Impellizzieri\, Research Fellows at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.\nParticipation is free of charge\, but online registration is required for organisational reasons: https://www.bollettinoadapt.it/eventi/lavoro-fuori-dal-contratto-e-fuori-dal-mercato-prospettive-giuslavoristiche-sul-lavoro-volontario-carcerario-di-cura-e-dei-disoccupati/ \n2025_preconference_v311025

SUMMARY:Digitalization of Industrial Labour Relations – Age-old values in a new digital world
DESCRIPTION:The DIGILARE 101126503 (www.digilare.eu) project investigates how digital technologies reshape industrial labour relations while maintaining core values. Its online seminar (📅 Nov 25 | 9:30–11:00 CET) brings together members of the research team to examine this transformation through theoretical and practical lenses. The discussion emphasizes structural changes in collective bargaining\, the integration of digital tools for worker representation\, and the normative implications of connectivity.\nElisabeth Brameshuber (University of Vienna) analyzes how digitalization challenges traditional frameworks of labour law. Nicola Gundt (Maastricht University) demonstrates how digital platforms enhance the capacity of workers’ representatives to organize and communicate. Luca Ratti (University of Luxembourg) explores the right to disconnect as a critical safeguard against the erosion of work-life boundaries. José María Miranda Boto (University of Santiago de Compostela) presents a policy paper that outlines strategies for adapting labour law to digital environments.\nThe seminar highlights a central tension: technological innovation promises efficiency and participation\, yet risks fragmenting established protections. DIGILARE positions itself at the intersection of research and policy\, offering evidence-based insights that inform both academic debate and legislative reform. This ongoing dialogue underscores the urgency of aligning digital progress with social justice and workers’ rights.\n✅ Register: https://forms.office.com/e/jHu4JY23Mt

SUMMARY:Interrogating the 'Post-Neoliberal Moment' in Labour Law: Conflict\, Institutional Change and the Political Economy of Labour
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, debates in labour law scholarship have increasingly focused on labour policy and governance under what are often described as ‘right-wing populist’\, ‘illiberal’ or ‘authoritarian’ regimes\, thereby aligning with a broader trend in social sciences and humanities. These studies often presuppose a clear departure from a previous neoliberal phase. However\, coming to terms with the idea of a ‘post-neoliberal’ moment entails\, first and foremost\, understanding the dimensions and extent of the neoliberal reshaping of labour law. \nThis conference seeks to examine this. It invites contributions that scrutinise the evolution of labour law from the late 1970s to the present\, with an aim to move away from micro-level analyses focused on the standard employment relationship and the contract of employment\, towards macro-level analyses that contextualise the changes in the regulation of the labour-capital conflict within the reorganisation of the economic and political orders under neoliberalism. The conference\, therefore\, seeks to complicate some common assumptions about the changes in labour governance over the past few decades. Specifically\, the conference posits the question of how to account for contemporary transformations in the regulation of the labour-capital conflict that put specific institutional arrangements in dialogue with changes in the economy and political rationality over the past four decades. Furthermore\, the conference seeks to understand contemporary changes in the political subjectivity of labour — normally framed under the label of ‘precarious’ work— wherein social markers of gender\, race and migration status challenge the historical worker archetype of labour law. Interdisciplinary investigations are particularly encouraged\, especially those that connect changes in contemporary work dynamics with the sociology of labour\, economics\, political theory\, geography and arts. \nConference Programme

SUMMARY:ILO Research Webinar - Temporary Labour Migration in Europe
DESCRIPTION:This research webinar will present the preliminary findings of the Research Project ‘European Birds of Passage – An Empirical Legal Theory of Temporary Labour Migration in Europe’ (European Research Council Starting Grant\, 2022-2027) which examines how European Union law and national frameworks shape social rights and perceptions of temporary migrant workers. Led by Marco Rocca and hosted at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS)\, the project combines systematic analysis of legal documents with quantitative and qualitative approaches to understand how EU law interacts with the fundamental concepts underpinning temporary labour migration\, such as the border of the labour market and notions of “temporariness”. \nTemporary Labour Migration in Europe_Agenda_28 October 2025_1

SUMMARY:Workshop: Untangling the Circulation of Ideas: Historical Perspectives on Dispute Resolution and Enforcement in Labour Law
DESCRIPTION:A system of modern labour law comprises three broad mechanisms: a process by which labour rights and standards are determined and set as legal norms; mechanisms whereby information about the observance of labour standards is obtained and fed back into the system; and processes and mechanisms by which standards can be enforced where necessary. \nWhile there has been extensive historical research concerning the development of labour standard setting\, there has been less investigation of the second and third mechanisms of labour law – what we might call labour law enforcement. Different bodies are charged with ensuring labour law’s enforcement. For example\, trade unions and labour inspectorates may monitor conditions in the workplace. Enforcement also takes place through dispute resolution bodies (such as arbitration and conciliation bodies as well as labour or industrial courts and tribunals); through trade unions calling industrial action; through other informal trade union and worker action; deployment of administrative sanctions by state agencies; or availability of court sanctions such as penalties. \nFrom the outset\, the development of national labour law was influenced by international networks and exchanges\, in which both problems and solutions were discussed. Ideas circulated here\, inspiring each other\, being further developed\, and being adapted to the respective national contexts. This circulation of ideas extended to how to ensure compliance with and enforcement of labour law. However\, little is known about the history of these international networks or the paths and ideas of their protagonists. \nThis Workshop\, organized by Johanna Wolf (Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory)\, John Howe (University of Melbourne) and Rebecca Zahn (University of Strathclyde)\, explores the history of international and transnational ‘entanglements’\, networks\, links and other modes for the circulation and exchange of ideas across borders and jurisdictions which shaped labour law enforcement practices\, focusing particularly on the 19th and early 20th centuries. \nInterested scholars and researchers are invited to attend this workshop as audience members. Attendance (including lunch) is free of charge. \nIf you would like to attend\, please email rebecca.zahn@strath.ac.uk by Monday 1 September 2025. Please note that audience member spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come\, first served basis. \nThe Workshop is being financially supported by the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory\, the University of Strathclyde\, and the Centre for Employment and Labour Relations Law\, Melbourne Law School. \n  \nPROGRAMME\nThursday\, 11 September\n1.30pm Welcome and Introductions \nJohn Howe\, Johanna Wolf\, Rebecca Zahn\, Untangling the circulation of ideas: historical perspectives on dispute resolution and enforcement in labour law \n2pm – 3pm Panel 1: The emergence of female inspectors and inspection systems \nChair: Jim Phillips (University of Glasgow)\nPetra Herzfeld Olsson (Stockholm University)\, How the idea of a female labour inspectorate took off – walking in the footsteps of Kerstin Hesselgren\nJonathan Zeller (University of Zurich)\, From England to Zurich: Transnational Roots of Female Inspectors \n3.00 – 3.30pm Coffee\n3.30pm – 5pm Panel 2: Enforcement and Compliance \nChair: Ruth Dukes (University of Glasgow)\nLouis Debersaques (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)\, Coming down like a ton of bricks?

SUMMARY:22nd International Conference in Commemoration of prof Marco Biagi: Employment in the Era of AI and Digital Platforms: Understanding and Regulating Transitions
DESCRIPTION:Remarks:\n\n\nOn behalf of the Scientific Committee of the Marco Biagi Foundation\, we are happy to share the Call for Papers and Panels of the 22st Conference in Memory of Marco Biagi\, on the theme Employment in the Era of AI and Digital Platforms: Understanding and Regulating Transitions. \nThe Conference will take place in Modena (Italy) on 19 and 20 March 2025. \nPaper and panel proposals can be submitted by 1 October 2024. \nIntroduction\nAmong the great challenges posed to employment relations in our society\, the use of technology\, data\, and\, most importantly\, automated systems and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in any economic\nsector plays a crucial role. In this context\, AI represents the most advanced and complex family of technologies\, which\, despite delivering a wide range of economic and societal benefits across the full spectrum of industries and social activities\, also entails several challenges as well as new threats to human beings and their fundamental rights. The current level of implementation of AI systems involves a wide range of applications: for example\, software for voice\, image\, and facial recognition\, industrial and domestic robots\, autonomous vehicles\, virtual assistants\, as well as any assistive technology to improve the functional capabilities of people with disabilities. In the world of work\, such implementation has mainly taken two forms: the first is directed at redefining tasks that workers perform\, while the second\, commonly referred to as “algorithmic management” and whose success is mainly due to and facilitated by the platform economy business model\, involves the use of AI-based analytics and algorithms for management functions\, i.e.\, hiring\, monitoring\, supervising\, and training workers\, as well as scheduling hours and breaks. Both task redefinition and algorithmic management impact job quantity (the number of jobs) and job quality\, including adherence to fundamental principles and rights at work\, raising also concerns with regards to the room left for social partners in the highly fragmented\, dematerialized workplace environment and to the increasingly unbalanced employment relationship. The role of policymakers in this scenario is\, therefore\, pivotal\, considering that the (inadequate) regulation of ongoing changes leaves innovation “free” to advance towards any outcome\, which might not be the one that offers the greatest protection for humans and their rights. In this regard\, a regulatory response for AI governance has already been given by international actors pursuing different approaches\, depending on the various balance among the many interests involved (innovation\, security\, respect for human rights\, ethics) as well as on each country’s societal values and national priorities. These include\, but are not limited to\, the risk-based approach (on which both the EU and US converge\, despite various degrees of intensity and the eventual interaction with other regulatory sources); the anthropocentric approach (adopted by EU) and the state-control approach (followed by China). \nThese differences also deserve careful investigation concerning the various public and private powers that operate as market actors. The extent of the changes and the introduction of new regulatory instruments calls for a new rationalisation of the state of the art\, observing ongoing processes of change and digital transformation\, and identifying innovative practices\, in order to fill the existent and future shortcomings and grasp the upcoming challenges. \nTo this end\, the Call for Papers encourages papers with a theoretical/conceptual approach\, as well as papers adopting empirical methodologies. The papers should deal with the key issues related to AI and digital labour platform\, on one or more of the following main topics/tracks:\n● Track 1: Navigating the Human-Machine Interface and its Occupational Implications.\n● Track 2: The Bright and Dark sides of Algorithmic Management in the Age of Big Data and AI.\n● Track 3: Human/Non-Human Rights and AI in the Work Environment and Beyond.\n● Track 4: Collective Rights and Social Partners in the Era of AI and Automation.\n● Track 5: From Threat to Opportunity: AI’s Role in Promoting Workplace Inclusion. \nTrack 1: Navigating the Human-Machine Interface and its Occupational Implications \nOne type of application of AI technology in the workplace entails the automation of tasks generally performed by workers. In this circumstance\, AI is not only used to automate repetitive tasks\, potentially leading to redundancies\, but it can also enable artificial agents to perform cognitive functions\, such as decision making\, previously only associated with humans. The intricate nature of such exploratory tasks\, like solving new problems\, demands a hybrid approach that integrates human intelligence with AI and may lead to augmentation\, thanks to the complementarity between human labour and technology or replacement of humans also in creative tasks. However\, while the adoption of AI for problem-solving might augment human capacities\, increasing the effectiveness and innovativeness of decision-making process\, it could interfere with human behaviour by\, for example\, imposing formal rationality\, exacerbating organisations’ learning myopia and challenging the conventional boundaries of human labour performance. Furthermore\, the performance of cognitive functions by AI requires a new form of interaction between humans and machines\, whose effects are central aspects of contemporary debate concerning the development of AI questioning also\, from a structural perspective\, the very roots\nof knowledge itself. Beyond the technological determinism\, such a combination can take place in different forms\, leading to very different outcomes for both companies and individuals (also in terms of well-being and greater quality of work). \nAgainst such a background\, we invite papers that address\, in particular\, the following (but not exhaustive) issues and questions:\n• Reflecting on how the increasingly dense interaction between human and non-human subjects impacts on the redefinition of professions and roles in the production mechanism;\n• Exploring the conditions under which the humans-AI collaborations leads to win-win solutions for both workers and companies\, i.e. in terms of productivity and well-being;\n• AI design and adoption and related power dynamics;\n• Management strategies to navigate the tensions or find a balance between automation and augmentation\, control approaches;\n• Exploring the relationship between AI and soft skills\, in terms of replacement or complementarity with humans;\n• Investigating if the augmentation of tasks may lead to new strategies of reasonable accommodation or work-life balance;\n• New competences and complementary skills. \nTrack 2: The Bright and Dark sides of Algorithmic Management in the Age of Big Data and AI. \nThe availability of big data has triggered a significant transformation in the entire Human Resource landscape\, leading to a shift from mere administrative functions\, consisting of the collection of employee records\, to more strategic and specialised functions which generally go under the label of algorithmic management. The term was firstly coined to describe management systems adopted in the platform economy\, which\, since then\, have constituted a laboratory for the development of algorithmic management devices\, now entrenched in workplaces of any economic sector.\nNowadays\, algorithmic management is considered a system of control that relies on machine- readable data and software algorithms to manage relationships with personnel and support organisational decisions dealing with nearly all the aspects and stages of the employment\nrelationship\, from recruitment to termination. Indeed\, since the initial implementation of automated and algorithmic systems in the management of the workforce\, we have observed a persistent transformation in the scope of the employer’s authority\, resulting in a shift towards a\nmore mediated\, augmented\, and opaque system of powers at the disposal of the employer. The advancements in digitalisation have been further triggered by the entrance of AI in HRM\, which has transformed and enabled every facet of HR while contributing to firm’s competitive advantage\, in the name of greater objectivity\, impartiality\, accuracy and reduction of costs\, and\, consequently\, has prompted the need to shed light on its potential benefits and dangerous drifts. Albeit the important benefits stemming from the adoption of AI\, this digital transformation entails several challenging aspects\, such as the privacy concerns\, the lack of transparency\, the deterioration of collective protections and the discrimination risks\, incorporated by historical and institutional bias. Understanding these challenges is essential to balancing the benefits of AI with employee rights and well-being. Against such background\, we will welcome papers that address in particular the following (but not exhaustive) issues:\n• Legal instruments and regulatory techniques to tackle the risks posed by algorithmic management;\n• The subjective scope of legal protections against the abuses and malpractices in algorithmic management;\n• How to ensure transparency\, explainability and accuracy in HR decision-making;\n• The impact of AI-enabled technologies in shaping HRM functions;\n• The impact of algorithmic management in changing the allocation of powers\, risks and rresponsibilities;\n• Standardisation in HRM as a booster for indirect discriminations;\n• Emerging AI tools and platforms for HRM professionals (i.e. AI applications in Recruitment and Selection\, Automated Compensation Systems\, personalized learning and development using AI algorithms\, AI-driven career pathing and skill-mapping; continuous performance evaluation\, personalised employee engagement strategies using AI);\n• Changing roles of HR professionals in the era of AI;\n• Bias reduction and fairness in AI-driven tools;\n• AI-driven employee feedback systems and sentiment analysis;\n• Enhancing workplace culture and employee satisfaction through AI. \nTrack 3: Human/Non-Human Rights and AI in the Work Environment and Beyond. \nAlthough AI provides many economic and societal benefits across different industries and social areas\, it also brings several risks and emerging threats to human beings and their fundamental rights\, among which occupational health and safety\, discrimination\, data privacy\, and\, in general\, the right to work\, with critical social and environmental impact. Concerning occupational health and safety\, the impact of AI is multifaceted. On one hand\, it may improve workplace safety by predicting hazards\, monitoring compliance\, and automating dangerous tasks. In this respect\, AI also has a potential to improve workplace inclusiveness\, as it can operate as a tool of reasonable accommodation. On the other hand\, it can introduce new risks\, such as those associated with the reliability of AI systems and the potential for decreased human oversight\, while also questioning the boundaries for the identification of the employer’s responsibility. Another critical concern typically associated with AI and heavily impacting workers is the discrimination risk. Indeed\, despite its presumed impartiality and accuracy\, AI raises ethical concerns and exacerbates structural discriminations\, due to either inherent algorithmic bias\, absorbed by systemic issues\, human or representation characteristics\, or the opaque nature of algorithms\, which masks intentional discriminatory conducts.\nData privacy is another fundamental right that intersects inevitably with AI\, given that the use of AI involves by its very nature extensive data collection and analysis. Automated processing of such data\, in this regard\, entails at least four major concerns for workers: the collection or use of special categories of data; the risk of a losing control over one’s personal data; and the decisions based on automated or semi-automated processing and on non-work-related data with legal effects for workers. A common protection strategy advanced against these drifts of AI with regard to fundamental rights is the limitation in the use of this technology\, either in terms of prohibition or in terms of substantive and procedural limitations\, like for example a demand for explainability and transparency\, allowing employees to understand how decisions affect their work and careers\, while also ensuring mechanisms for human oversight. A different strategy might pave the way for a protection of any kind of worker\, including both human and non-human\, in order to avoid exploitation of both and\, as such\, nullifying the competitive advantage between them as well as the consequent degradation of work. However\, as AI continues to advance\, it is essential to prioritise the protection of fundamental rights in the workplace\, leveraging AI’s potential benefits while mitigating its risks. This requires a collaborative effort between policymakers\, employers and researchers to create a future of work that upholds human dignity\, safety\, and inclusion. In this regard\, the newest legislative instruments increasingly rely on compliance standards developed by private actors. This is a cause of concern insofar as it indicates the weakening of public control. Against such a background\, we invite papers that address\, in particular\, the following (but not exhaustive) issues and questions:\n• Technological sovereignty and AI in a geopolitical perspective: the role of States and private powers;\n• The social and environmental impact of AI;\n• AI\, ethics\, and the protection of human rights;\n• The investigation on the potential positive or negative implications of AI in terms of social and environmental sustainability;\n• Implication of the use of enabling technology on workers’ health and safety;\n• Personal data protection and AI: intersections between disciplines and critical issues;\n• Employee data governance\, accuracy\, robustness\, and cybersecurity;\n• Algorithmic transparency\, explainable AI\, and human oversight;\n• The surge of new grounds of discrimination and the legal ground for protection;\n• The issue of intersectionality and multifactorial discriminations in AI;\n• The effectiveness of the hybrid approach of regulation between voluntary and mandatory legal measures. \nTrack 4: Collective Rights and Social Partners in the Era of AI and Automation. \nThe implementation of AI and the increasing use of automated systems in the workplace increase the employer’s powers and give them new forms\, intensifying the existing imbalance in the employment relationship. The need for collective protections is thus even greater. This should make the case for strengthening workers’ representation rights\, combining traditional instruments with innovative experimental practices. However\, new technologies create unprecedented challenges for traditional actors\, which they cannot readily cope with through well-established practices. This is particularly evident in platform work\, where workers respond by reinventing collective organising (e.g. the riders’ grassroots movements\, their claim strategies and the results they achieved). In many cases traditional unions have seen independent unions as competitors\, thus avoiding the possibility to promote common actions\, in other cases traditional unions\, independent unions and grassroots groups managed to build variable alliances obtaining crucial outcomes reconstructing paths of solidarity. Against this background\, scholars and social partners point out that the active intervention of workers’ representatives in the definition of design and management aspects related to the use of AI in production organisations\, according to bargaining or collaborative partnership methods (or a mix of the two)\, represents a crucial factor not only for industrial democracy but also for the efficiency of production processes. Furthermore\, the role of social partners should be emphasised not only during the phases preceding and accompanying the introduction and use of automated decision-making and monitoring systems\, which may include AI techniques (such as worker involvement\, collective bargaining\, and information) but also during the litigation phases. Finally\, as seen in Europe\, social partners can play a pioneering role in defining shared principles and strategies to harness the\nbenefits and address the challenges posed by new technologies\, especially in the absence of timel legislative interventions. Against such a background\, we invite papers that address\, in particular\, the following (but not exhaustive) issues and questions:\n• Technological changes and strategic capability of the social partners;\n• Relationship between better working conditions and the presence of workers’ representatives in companies adopting technologies with AI components;\n• Workers’ representatives’ role in of ensuring human supervision and control over AI systems\, data processing and transparency;\n• The emergence of litigation strategies as a way to tackle weak unionisation;\n• Paths for an effective renewal of the collective representation within the frame of a fast- evolving industrial relations system;\n• Online platform work and collective rights;\n• Impact of the transnational nature of digital platforms on representation and collective rights;\n• Trans-organisational and transnational alliances among platform workers;\n• AI and workers’ participation;\n• How broader networks of actors collaborate to set standards and organise collective action to address issues pertaining to the use of AI in management;\n• Collection of best practices in collective bargaining that try to switch the trend of job fragmentation and job insecurity;\n• Negotiating the use of algorithms and AI in the workplace. \nTrack 5: From Threat to Opportunity: AI’s Role in Promoting Workplace Inclusion. \nRather than conceiving AI uniquely as a threat to objectivity\, neutrality\, and inclusion\, it may also represent an opportunity to foster inclusion in the workplace. This may occur by using AI for the design and operation of enabling technologies\, which can be\na tool to meet the requirement of reasonable accommodation\, supporting workers in their work performance and enhancing inclusivity. Indeed\, the use of technologies using AI systems at work can benefit individuals with visual\, motor\, cognitive\, and communicative disabilities by providing direct assistance and creating a more accessible work environment (i.e. for example enabling technologies\, exoskeletons\, or augmented reality). At the same time\, it can open up access to opportunities for new jobs that were previously inaccessible to workers with disabilities. Furthermore\, it may be possible to leverage the flexibility of AI in the design of HRM processes in a way that corrects biases already happening in humans’ mind\, and yet opaque and not explicit\, and meets the needs of vulnerable workers (i.e. such as tailoring their work-life balance demands). Such beneficial aspects of AI are also in line with the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD)\, which mandates countries\, among other things\, to promote the development\, availability and use of new technologies suitable for persons with disabilities as well as to take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability by any person\, organization or private enterprise. Despite its significance\, few scholars have delved into this area of research. Therefore\, we encourage papers that address this background\, and particularly the following (but not exhaustive) issues and questions:\n• Impact of AI on Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion initiatives within organisations;\n• AI and new vulnerabilities in the world of work;\n• Inclusive AI: tools for promoting diversity and mitigating biases;\n• Involvement of vulnerable people in the development of inclusive AI systems;\n• Practices for ensuring accessibility of AI-powered technologies\, such as exoskeletons or augmented reality tools\, for vulnerable people;\n• New job opportunities arising for people with disabilities;\n• AI role in training employees\, both with and without disabilities\, to work more effectively in increasingly digital and automated work environments;\n• Balancing the use of inclusive AI and collection of sensitive data. \nSUBMISSIONS \n1) Papers.

DESCRIPTION:Remarks:\n\n\nWe invite you to register for a two day\, hybrid (Zoom and in-person) workshop contemplating the upcoming review of the CUSMA/USMCA/T-Mec agreement\, focusing on the labour provisions and on the rapid-response mechanism. \nWhen the renegotiated Canada-US-Mexico Trade Agreement (CUSMA / USMCA / T-MEC) took effect on July 1\, 2020\, there were expectations that the substantially amended Labour Chapter\, together with the new Facility Specific Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM)\, would represent a considerable step forward in the enforcement of labour rights. As we approach the forthcoming\, mandatory review of the CUSMA / USMC / T-MEC Agreement by its Signatories\, it is time to examine whether the new Labour Chapter and the Labour Annexes in the CUSMA have met the Signatories’ labour justice objectives. \nRegister by December 1st to attend this two-day workshop which will bring together academics\, lawyers\, experts\, trade unionists\, and representatives of the three signatory countries to discuss experiences to date under the Labour Chapter\, the RRM\, potential avenues for reform\, and how best to implement them. Attendees are also able to join online via Zoom\, and trilingual translation (Spanish\, French\, English) will be available.

SUMMARY:ADAPT - International Conference XIV Edition
DESCRIPTION:Remarks:\n\n\n\nWHAT DO WORKERS WANT\, TODAY? An Interdisciplinary Reflection on Representation\, Industrial Relations and Labour Law\n\nUntil the last century\, trade unions were the main form of employee participation and inclusion in most Western countries. Things seem to be changing today. Unions\, and the traditional forms of representation more generally\, have been challenged by social and economic changes (tertiarisation of the economy\, an increasingly diverse workforce\, unstable employment\, the establishment of neoliberal governments\, to name but a few)\, while new mechanisms of employee participation have emerged. Employers’ organisations have also faced new challenges resulting from productive and sectoral fragmentation\, different interests involved\, and the trend toward government regulation concerning certain issues (e.g.\, minimum wage)\, as well as the decentralisation or even weakening of collective bargaining.\n\nThe collective dimension of work will be the key theme during the 2024 edition of the international conference organised by ADAPT’s International School of Higher Education in Industrial and Labour Relations: What do Workers Want\, Today? An Interdisciplinary Reflection on Representation\, Industrial Relations and Labour Law.\n\nThe event will provide an opportunity to investigate the most relevant criteria adopted to assess people’s work\, foster personal fulfilment and professional identity\, and create sustainable and inclusive labour markets. Given the different aspects considered\, an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective will be taken in order to reveal the full picture.\n\nThe conference organisers welcome scholars\, experts and practitioners to submit their research. To this end\, some useful information is provided below:\nPublication of the Call for Abstracts: March 2024\nAbstract Submission: from 18 March to 31 May 2024\nNotification of Acceptance: 28 June 2024\nAttendance Confirmation: 6 September 2024\nSubmission of full papers (for accepted abstracts and if interested in publication): 31 October 2024\n\nParticipation in the Conference is free\, but registration is required.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeadlines:\n\nAbstract submission:May 31\, 2024\n\n\nLinks:\nRegistration link

SUMMARY:Panoptiwork conference: Interdisciplinary perspectives on labour and digitalisation
DESCRIPTION:Remarks:\n\nThe project Panoptiwork organises its closing conference at the University of Groningen\, on 2 December 2024. The conference looks at the interdisciplinary intersections of labour and digitalisation. It aims to bring together researchers from diverse fields to discuss the multifaceted impact of the digital society in workplaces. This requires addressing questions about the organisation of work\, working conditions\, power relations\, ethics of business\, health and safety\, legal protection and beyond. Therefore\, the conference welcomes research including philosophy of work\, labour economics\, labour history\, labour sociology\, social computing\,labour law\, data protection\, industrial relations. During the one-day conference Panoptiwork will present an interdisciplinary Issue edited on the Italian Labour Law e-Journal. Would you like to send in an abstract for this conference?

SUMMARY:Class Conflict and Institutional Change - Otto Kahn-Freund (1900–1979) and the Invention of Labor Law
DESCRIPTION:Remarks:\n\n\nConference theme \nEmploying the lens of the life and work of Otto Kahn-Freund (1900–1979)\, we investigate the invention of labor law as a distinct field of legal doctrine and scholarship. Invention and reinvention are understood here to be ongoing political and scholarly processes\, involving the defense of existing institutions and the development of new ones. We consider developments across the twentieth century\, from the end of the first world war to the struggle over the second postwar settlement in the 1970s and thereafter. Following Kahn-Freund\, we conceive of labor law scholarship as an interdisciplinary endeavor\, combining insights from political economy\, sociology of law\, and empirically-oriented industrial relations. As such\, our investigation allows us to address two questions: How was legal scholarship on the changing conflict between capital and labor related to contemporary developments in the social sciences\, and what can we learn from this today? \nWe invite paper proposals which address the conference theme. In particular\, authors may wish to address the following: \nThe relations and interactions of labor law scholars and trade unionists in the Weimar Republic\nThe reception of Karl Marx and Max Weber in Weimar labor law scholarship and\, especially\, the work of Otto Kahn-Freund\nLabor law and the state under capitalism: from Heller and Neumann to Laski and Miliband\nLabor law and corporatism: the legal empowerment and control of trade unions through the institutionalization of trade union rights; delegated rights and imposed restriction; Keynes to Marshall to Donovan – Keynesian full employment – incomes policy in the 1970s and its failure\nLabor law and comparative political economy: the origins and significance of commonality and difference. \nVenue \nThe Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) is located in Cologne\, Germany. It is one of the largest social science research institutions in Germany\, regarded internationally as one of the top research institutes in the social sciences. Cologne has its own airport and can be easily reached by train from Frankfurt International Airport\, Düsseldorf airport\, and other locations throughout mainland Europe. \nConfirmed speakers: \nZoe Adams\, University of Cambridge\nRuth Dukes\, University of Glasgow\nRichard Hyman\, London School of Economics\nAgustín José Menéndez\, Universidad Complutense de Madrid\nBrishen Rogers\, Georgetown University\nWilliam Scheuerman\, Indiana University\nWolfgang Streeck\, MPIfG\nRebecca Zahn\, University of Strathclyde \nSubmissions: \nScholars who are interested in presenting papers at the conference are invited to submit an abstract of up to 500 words. Please include a title\, your name and affiliation\, and contact information. \nAbstracts should be sent to Ruth Dukes by April 30\, 2024. Please copy the following text into the title of the email: Class Conflict and Institutional Change Paper Proposal. Decisions on the acceptance of paper proposals will be communicated by May 31\, 2024. \nLogistics and key dates: \nWe are grateful for the financial and administrative support provided by the MPIfG. Thanks to that support\, no fee will be charged for attendance at the conference\, but participants may be asked to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses. Information about recommended hotels will be provided at a later date. \nApril 30\, 2024: Last day to submit paper proposals\nMay 31\, 2024: Decisions on acceptance of paper proposals\nNovember 13–15\, 2024: Conference in Cologne \nAny questions can be addressed to Ruth Dukes. \n\n\n\n\n\nDeadlines\n\nAbstract submission: Apr 30\, 2024
