153 Int'l Lab. Rev. [i] (2014)

handle is hein.journals/intlr153 and id is 1 raw text is: Simon DEAKIN, Jonas MALMBERG and Prabirjit SARKAR Using longitudinal data on labour law in France, Germany, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States over the period 1970 2010, the authors estimate the impact of labour regulation on unemployment and the labour share of national income. Their dynamic panel data analysis distinguishes between the short-run and long-run effects of regulatory change. They find that worker-protec- tive labour laws in general have no consistent relationship to unemployment but are positively correlated with labour's share of national income. Laws specifically relating to working time and employee representation are found to have beneficial effects on both efficiency and distribution thus proxied. KEYWORDS: UNEMPLOYMENT, LABOUR LEGISLATION, WORKERS RIGHTS, EQUAL RIGHTS, COMMENT, TREND, FRANCE, GERMANY, JAPAN, SWEDEN, UK, USA. 29 Janice R. BELLACE The author argues that the June 2012 challenge by the ILO Employers' group to the hitherto generally accepted view regarding the right to strike under the Free- dom of Association Convention, No. 87 is at odds with the historical understand- ing of the framework in which the Convention is embedded. She demonstrates how the ILO constituents have consistently recognized that there is a positive right to strike, which is inextricably linked to - and an inevitable corollary of - the right to freedom of association. The article also analyses the relative roles of the ILO supervisory bodies in this regard. KEYWORDS: RIGHT TO STRIKE, FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION, ROLE OF ILO, INTERNATIONAL LABOUR STANDARDS, COMMENT.
