Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

North American business corporations are currently facing competitive challenges as well as rising public demand for more participative and accountable forms of governance. While they have responded to the competitive challenge by implementing new lean and .exible organizational processes to improve productivity, they have made few changes in governance, and employees continue to have little input into decisions that fundamentally affect them. This article outlines the conventional arguments for workplace democracy and proposes a new, health-based argument. The grounds for an emerging employee rights movement are then presented. The article concludes that while the evidence backing up the conventional arguments for workplace democracy may be equivocal, there are still compelling reasons, both economic and non-economic, to democratize workplaces.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
