Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The articles by Mark Thomas and Wendy McKeen challenge the notion that the expanded role of markets characteristic of neoliberalism implies a less interventionist state. Thomas explores the implications of the 2001 revisions to the Employment Standards Act in Ontario, which increased the weekly maximum number of work hours to 60 while loosening the requirements for overtime pay. Based on a case study involving interviews with several workers from the Ontario Toyota plant, Thomas argues that the changes involve a re-regulation of the labour market that enhances employer-centred flexibility via the construction of a new form of time discipline. McKeen analyzes the 1999 National Children’s Agenda, a package of federal and provincial income support and social service programs, with particular attention given to “‘Healthy Beginnings’ in Nova Scotia.” She argues that these policies express a new paradigmatic approach to social policy that combines an augmented belief in individualism with unprecedented state intrusion into the daily lives of recipients.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
