Reinventing Workplace Regulation
提出让雇主选择与员工合作制定计划来达成监管目标,从而替代僵化且成本高昂的详细规定,同时确保员工权益得到保护。
Workplace regulations are typically rigid and detailed, raising costs for business without effectively protecting workers. This article argues for giving employers the option of working with employees to solve their mutual problems. Under this proposal, employers have the option of creating plans that achieve the goals of the regulations. If these plans meet minimum standards, the employer would be exempt from many detailed command-and-control regulations. A key element of this proposal is that the workforce (or its representative) has the authority to ensure that each plan protects the employees.
