How do autoworkers choose their battles during the EV transition? My new paper @IR_Berkeley looks at the divergent paths of U.S. and Canadian unions. The key takeaway: Beyond power resources, we must look at internal politics to explain strategic choices. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ir…

@akumar_1289 @CornellILR_News Thanks, Ashwin!

Happy to share a new publication co-authored with Tristan Ivory! @CornellILR_News

What happens when workers have less voice than they expect? Surveying 1,307 U.S. workers, we found that gaps in worker voice are tied to lower job satisfaction, poor well-being, higher burnout, turnover intentions, and stronger interest in unionizing. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Pei Palmgren shows how the social & #humanitarian dimensions of #migration infrastructure that grew from war displacement, #labor migration & #migrant survival efforts became essential to economic development aims of the Thai state. @Stanford @SageJournals buff.ly/4094El0

I'm grateful for feedback from reviewers and editors @JIRjournal and support from @EliDFriedman @cornellilr

This paper draws data from a larger dataset of 1.6 million labor dispute litigations, which I constructed from judicial rulings publicized by China's Supreme Court.

Happy to share my latest publication @JIRjournal! I study how extralegal factors (migrant status, job title, and legal representation) shape workers' outcomes in labor dispute litigations in China. doi.org/10.1177/002218…

Our paper is out in the Journal of Contemporary China! It examines strikes and labor relations related to the global expansion of Chinese capital. Hopefully, it would be of some interest. doi.org/10.1080/106705…

Excited to share my first peer-reviewed article @chinaquarterly ! I offer an explanation as to why household registration (hukou) and unequal welfare systems, criticized by many for so long, have remained in place in China. 1/4 doi.org/10.1017/S03057…

When I asked a labor dispatch agency owner how he recruits guestworkers, he responded, "工人自己会把亲戚朋友带过来，一带就带一路人，一带一路嘛". This is the best interpretation of the Belt and Road Initiatives I have ever heard.

Here is my favorite interview exchange during my fieldwork that I couldn't incorporate into my writing. It's in Chinese because I can't find a good translation.

I wrote an essay on an interesting guestworker program experiment in China. Many thanks to @MIC_Journal and @FangYiren for making it happen.

@akumar_1289 Thanks, Ashwin! Would love to talk!

Very excited that my paper is out in @IMRjournal! I study a newly established guestworker program in China that recruits temporary migrant workers from Vietnam. 1/5 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…

positions. An increasing number of countries are implementing guestworker programs and the regulation strategies being adopted have important implications for the well-being of migrant workers. I hope to contribute to the growing effort in understanding the logic behind these 5/6
