NOTES FOR "NEW INTERNATIONAL DIVISION OF LABOUR"

• Jeremy Rifkin "worker-less factories and virtual companies in the North, the current employment practices of the South are redundant and no where as competitive as the speed and production ability of the new automated production services. IE: Automated machinery, technology, etc..
• The concept of work and labor is changing in the North. Along with the social cohesion and consciousness of the worker.
• Labour movements worldwide and possible new role of "Trade Unions"

UNIONS (historical form of worker representation) and SOCIAL FUNCTIONS

• Creating identity and solidarity among its member. (IT being the Union)
• Frames a common group world-view / Shares values
• Unions become 'advice bureaus' concerned for labor rights. Social security agents fighting for access to basic health, education and entertainment services.
• Control and discipline prevail over worker experience

I and WE

• Unions not longer benefit from creating group solidarity as corporations challenge the idea of I and WE or Employer vs Employee. The individual worker becomes more competitive with other employees or colleagues at a race to benefits, unions once fought for.
• Three dimensions must be met to create a reconstruction of collective representation.

Ideology of Work

• Work has not always been a dominant factor in everyday life, nor a way to make economic ends meet. However due to industrial capitalism this ideology has changed.
• Work is now a moral duty, a social obligation and a route to personal success.
• Those who work little or not at all are thought to be working against the community as a whole.
• Neo-Conservative view on work, views that though paid work is lowering in numbers, individuals who wish to attain paid work, should compete with one another to earn it. A "survival of the fittest" idea, which in turn should lower of the cost of labour. Similar to the idea of "race to the bottom".

Forms of Work

• Work for Economic ends: Work done with payment in mind. Usually to satisfy goals that is not ones own, but of an employer. Individuals work for this exchange to make a living, or for personal satisfaction that one may attain through payment.
• Domestic labour and work for ones self: Work that is done for personal satisfaction. Examples of such may be: Raising children, keeping an area or home clean, preparing food.

NOTES FOR EMOTIONAL ISOLATION

• Study seeks to understand the emotional toll and well-being of males ranged from 50-80 who have been diagnose w/ cancer
• The effects of a close network where one can express emotion compared to a network one isolates himself from
• The ability to emotionally confide in someone decline in age on men. Both with prostate cancer and without.
• Men having no one to confide in felt a strain of negative emotions. Tired, worn out, weak, depressed. Where as the opposite is seen in men who have the ability to speak to someone of emotional concerns. These men feel: Alert and strong, happy, calm and full of energy.
• 9 out of 10 male patients could only speak of emotional concerns with a spouse.
• There may be a need for a gender adapted approach to emotional support.

NOTES ON COMMUNITY OF PLACE

• Preamble of the US constitution and the preamble of the constitution of Montana may give insight on the idea of creating who it is "we" are our values in comparison to others.
