The A. argues that far from being surpassed by globalization, the nation-state remains a key space for organized labour. While labour geographers have recognized the significance of new forms of work organization, they have not examined how unions
determine the trajectory of workplace change. Based on case studies of unions in the Canadian and German auto industries, the AA. stress that the linkage between national and workplace scales remains critical to understanding how unions are responding

This study focuses on one-worker and two-worker households and investigates how telecommuting affects household one-way commute distance and duration. The results show that telecommuting increases the commute distance and duration for both one
-worker households and two-worker households. It is also found that, in two-worker households, the telecommuting status of one worker does not increase the commute distance and duration of the other worker. These findings suggest that telecommuting (two
-worker) households tend to choose locations involving a longer total one-way commute than non-telecommuting households, and this difference is largely due to the longer commute of their telecommuting members.

This paper examines the post-redundancy experience of workers made redundant by two large manufacturing firms in the mid-1980s. Comparison with previous studies in less prosperous labour markets contrasts in the proportions of workers finding

In the aggregate, excess commuting is the nonoptimal or surplus work travel occurring in cities because people do not minimize their journeys to work. The A. presents an alternative view based on a theoretical maximum commute. This calculation
