"Focusing on Spain, where fixed-term workers account for a third of the wage and salary workforce, we examine the wage growth implications of fixed-term employment of varying duration while distinguishing between wage growth occurring on-the-job versus via job mobility. Wage growth among employees with indefinite work contracts largely occurs via job mobility, whereas fixed-term workers gain via job mobility as well as on-the-job. Consequently, job stayers with fixed-term contracts a year ago narrow their wage gap with respect to similar counterparts with indefinite-term contracts. Yet, this effect is solely driven by the 10.5 percentage points higher wage growth experienced by fixed-term workers with 6-months contracts able to keep their jobs beyond their initial contract period. Given the limited number of short-term temporary workers in those circumstances, the overall wage gap between past fixed-term and indefinite-term workers is unlikely to vanish in the near future."

"This paper evaluates the link between employee affective commitment and wages using a theoretical model predicting that affective commitment and wages can be complements. We estimate simultaneous quantile regressions based on a matched worker–employer sample of private sector workers from the UK's Workplace Employment Relations Survey 2004. Our results suggest that wages increase with increasing levels of affective commitment, consistent with the idea that the two are complements."

"La privatisation de Royal Mail intervenue en octobre 2013 marque un tournant au Royaume-Uni. Soucieux d'assurer le succès de l'opération, le gouvernement libéral-conservateur a vendu l'entreprise très en-dessous de sa valeur, suscitant une vague de protestations. Les syndicats, opposés à la mise sur le marché de l'opérateur public, ont obtenu des hausses de salaires et une participation accrue aux décisions de l'entreprise. Il reste à voir si ces promesses seront suivies d'effets dans le contexte de concurrence accrue qui marque désormais le marché postal britannique."
