How does the workplace division of labor affect worker bargaining
power? A long line of research, going back to Harry Braverman, contends
that the detail division of labor reduces worker bargaining power. By
simplifying and deskilling work, the division of labor opens incumbent
workers to more competition from outsiders.
Beyond the world of Marxist workplace ethnography, workforce development
practitioners advocate for job enrichment, task rotation and other
initiatives that reverse the specialized division of labor. These
arguments all assume that dividing labor straightforwardly reduces
worker bargaining power.
