Compose a 1500 words assignment on the temp economy from kelly girls to permatemps in postwar america. Needs to be plagiarism free! With The Temp Economy: From Kelly Girls to Permatemps in Postwar America”, Erin Hatton has written a persuasive account of how the temporary employment industry grew, following World War II, from a slightly seedy and quite marginal position in the U. S. economy into a robust industry that was central in redefining employment relations(2011, p.977).Working in a temporary industry is like traveling on a dilapidated, shaky bus that will break down at any time. It is the degradation of the dignity of labor. Amongst the 4 factors of production, land, labor, capital and organization labor was once considered as the most important by the authors of the classical texts on economics. They asserted that capital without labor is dead. From that unassailable position, Hatton articulates, how casualization has adversely affected the individual and family life of the worker. Not long ago, American workers were the blue-eyed boys of the economic system. Something seriously has gone wrong with the American labor employment system. Layoffs, outsourcing, contingent work, and disappearing career ladders- are workplace realities now.Professor Harris Freeman and Professor George Gonos write Non-standard employment is compromising the ability of American workers to exercise their right to self-organization and collective bargaining…..Without the ability to bargain with both the user and supplier firms that employ them, temporary workers will find it virtually impossible to alter their second-class terms and conditions of employment at the bargaining table (2).
