“…‘Less severe’ or non-criminalized exploitation may be implicitly codified by civil law as breaches of employment contracts or tax regulations. In broader sociological terms, labour exploitation may be seen as a standard aspect of work and so occurs beyond criminal-legal frameworks entirely, especially if framed from a Marxist perspective (Brass, 2015). Others have coined terms such as ‘lawful but awful’ business practices (Passas, 2005), which theoretically move some exploitation beyond the confines of legal definitions.…”

Harm facilitated by corporations has received increased attention in recent years. However, corporate crime and harm remain under-researched themes in relation to labour exploitation, in both theoretical and empirical terms. The purpose of this article is to argue that, in the context of agricultural and food supply networks, harmful labour practices result from structural problems associated with the demand for products. Although individual employers and businesses have a role in facilitating these harmful practices, these practices also emerge from otherwise legitimate agri-food supply network dynamics, such as subcontracted labour, which results in fragmented responsibility. Therefore, labour practices have significant implications for the nature, organization and control of corporate harms, whereby harmful consequences become normalized, accepted and embedded in agri-food supply network practices. Criminological analyses of food production and contemporary markets more widely can begin to address the systemic challenges of harmful labour practices, in both domestic and global supply networks.

At present, a number of researchers conclude that at low levels of the class structure there is so-called 'Precariat', characterized by a low level of capital. Agreeing with this, modern research is devoted to identifying the features of the 'Precariat', manifested in national and sectoral labor markets. The purpose of this paper is to try to answer the question whether 'Precariat' is a social and economic problem for Russia or whether it is a new reality. Considering the stability of employment, the main sources of wages or various groups of the population and the number of these groups, the authors came to the conclusion that, in fact, the main social problem is not the 'Precariat', but the phenomenon that the authors called 'Dependiat' (derived from the word 'dependents'). The 'Dependiat' is characterized by employment of a significant group of population, whose income is permanent, stable and depends mainly on the national budget.

Travail non libre et rapports sociaux de sexe – À propos des programmes canadiens d’immigration temporaire

RésuméL’analyse proposée ici défend la nécessité d’opérer un déplacement vis-à-vis des termes qui semblent dominer pour l’heure la réflexion sur les nouvelles formes d’esclavage ou de servitude pour y intégrer pleinement les rapports sociaux de sexe en tant que rapports sociaux de production et d’exploitation. Dans cette perspective, à partir de deux études sur le terrain réalisées auprès des travailleuses domestiques et des travailleurs agricoles soumis aux programmes canadiens d’immigration, il s’agit de chercher à voir comment les rapports de travail qui sont rassemblés sous les concepts « d’esclavage moderne » et de « travail non libre » produisent non seulement une classe de travailleurs exclue du salariat canonique, mais aussi et simultanément une main-d’œuvre racisée, intrinsèquement sexuée : des « non-ressortissants » qui sont aussi des hommes et des femmes dont les corps sont différemment mis au travail, exploités et marqués.
