"Freedom, Democracy, and Working Life"
by Breen, K (2015)
Abstract
This article explores the republican case for worker voice in economic enterprises based on the ideal of freedom as non-domination and assesses its merits relative to two influential arguments for workplace democratization grounded on freedom understood as autonomy and self-determination. Two claims are advanced. The first is that the republican case for worker voice avoids difficulties associated with these two arguments. The second, however, is that the ideal of non-domination is insufficient and that an adequate understanding and defense of workplace democracy will also have to make significant reference to freedom understood as autonomy.
Key Passage
... the ideal of non-domination is insufficient on its own and that an adequate defense of workplace democracy will also have to incorporate, in substantial measure, positive freedom understood as self-determination. (p.471)
