Description: "From Widgets to Digits analyzes the impact of the new flexibile workplace on the issues of employment discrimination, ownership of human capital, worker representation, employee benefits, and income distribution, and proposes legal and institutional reforms to ensure the conditions of success in today's boundaryless workplace. Professor Stone contends that a constructive program for workplace justice must provide continuity in wages, on going training opportunities, transferable skills, unambiguous ownership of individual human capital, and portable health and retirement benefits. She also advocates the creation of a reliable social safety net to ease transitions and cushion the fall for those who are left behind by the boundaryless workplace."--Jacket.
