"In Conflicting Commitments, Shannon Gleeson goes beyond the debate over federal immigration policy to examine the complicated terrain of immigrant worker rights. Federal law requires that basic labor standards apply to all workers, yet this principle clashes with increasingly restrictive immigration laws and creates a confusing bureaucratic terrain for local policymakers and labor advocates. Gleeson examines this issue in two of the largest immigrant gateways in the country: San Jose, California, and Houston, Texas. Conflicting Commitments reveals two cities with very different approaches to addressing the exploitation of immigrant workers--both involving the strategic coordination of a range of bureaucratic brokers, but in strikingly different ways. Drawing on the real life accounts of ordinary workers, federal, state, and local government officials, community organizers, and consular staff, Gleeson argues that local political contexts matter for protecting undocumented workers in particular. Providing a rich description of the bureaucratic minefields of labor law, and the explosive politics of immigrant rights, Gleeson shows how the lessons learned from San Jose and Houston can inform models for upholding labor and human rights in the United States"--Publisher's Web site

En el año 1629 comenzaron las explotaciones mineras en el cerro de Quiruvilca, sierra del departamento de La Libertad, pero la veta grande fue descubierta y trabajada desde 1634, gracias a la constancia de Fernando de Ahedo y Sara+via, fundador del asiento minero, quien le puso el nombre de San José de Quiruvilca. Desde un principio bracearon trabajadores que nunca fueron compelidos a mitas. Produjo plata de buena ley. Fue visitada por Martínez Compañón, obispo humanista de la era borbónica. Tuvo un régimen laboral acorde a las costumbres de los siglos xvii al xix. En el xx pasó al control de empresas transnacionales que además de plata, extraen otros metales. Perdura hasta hoy, tiempo durante el cual ha dado origen a una amplia población humana que vive en un enorme asentamiento urbano.

Examines changes in the San Jose, Costa Rico, labor market, 1980-1991, with respect to gender & social class. Recent literature on global economic transformations suggests restructured & increased inequalities on an international scale, particularly in small countries on the periphery of the world economy. The case of San Jose offers limited support for theories of parallel global & local restructuring. Data indicate greater job growth for San Jose women, with a large share coming from semiskilled, skilled, & professional occupations; higher educational attainment; & a net transfer of female employment from the public to private sector. Every industry has experienced a worsening of employment composition resulting in greater class inequalities for men & women. It is argued that individual aspects of the Costa Rican experience, eg, the liberal market reforms of the 1980s, mediate the effects of global restructuring. It is suggested that future comparative research focus on the interplay of domestic & international economics & politics. 12 Tables, 112 References. Adapted from the source document.

The study aims to assess the saving and investment pattern of women rice farmers in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. The study was conducted in the rice-producing barangays of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, namely: Mabini, Mapaya, and Mangarin from February to July 2017. The study population included all women farmers who were involved in different rice farming activities from production to marketing. The 48 respondents were randomly selected. Informed consent was sought before the conduct of the study. Descriptive statistics like mean, percentages, and frequency distribution were used to assess the women farmers' profile. While Pearson Moment Correlation was used to test the relationship between the variables. The result shows that the small-scale women farmers have a small household size and small farm sizes with an income above the poverty threshold. They "sometimes" save through cash and "frequently" save through non-cash. They "frequently" encountered problems in saving capacity. Further, farm size is significantly related to the savings pattern of women rice farmers. Socio-economic characteristics have no relationship with constraints to saving capacity. The study suggests using other variables to further determine the saving pattern and saving capacity of the women rice farmers.

The study analyzed the postharvest handling practices done on table eggs by the market participants in San Jose, Batangas, Philippines through a survey conducted from February to May 2016. Data obtained from 60 farmer-respondents and 31 market intermediary-respondents were subjected to cost and returns analysis, partial budgeting, and combination of price margin and ladder pricing analysis along with descriptive analysis. Forward tracing was performed to identify the channels where table eggs passed before reaching final consumers. Farmers, assembler-wholesalers, wholesalers and retailers were involved in the marketing of table eggs produced in San Jose, Batangas. Practices performed can be a combination of the following: assembly, cleaning, sorting and grading, storing, packaging and transporting. Assembly and transporting are usually done by the assembler-wholesalers. Farmers store the eggs at their houses while market intermediaries have their own storage houses. Farmers used polystyrene trays whereas market intermediaries used the cheaper egg carton trays. Results revealed that small- to medium-scale farmers and traders manually sorted and graded the eggs while only a few large-scale farmers used mechanized grading facilities. Both did not conform to the Philippine National Standards. Re-grading was practiced along the marketing chain resulting to re-grading profit. It was concluded that farmers and market-intermediaries who adopt postharvest handling practices generated more profit. Promoting awareness on the proper performance of cleaning as a postharvest handling practice to minimize losses was recommended. The use of uniform standards by the BAFPS-PNS was likewise suggested to be properly implemented in cooperation with the local government units (LGU) serving as the front-liner.

El autor, en lugar de centrar directamente la mirada sobre la relacion entre la Comunidad Europea y America Central, pretende focalizar la atencion sobre el desarrollo de una Europa cada vez mas unificada, entendida como un actor internacional que gradualmente adquiere un rol global. Este articulo considera las razones por las cuales, para la region centroamericana, el nuevo perfil tiene mas vigor en aquellas areas que conciernen a la reestructuracion economica y a la convergencia en el largo plazo, que en la dimension de la seguridad
