This paper examines the attempt by mining management in Western Australia's Pilbara to replace mining unions—quite literally—by removing them from the processes of representation and bargaining. It analyses the way in which those unions have tried to re-place themselves, in the senses of transforming themselves in those spaces in which they were already operating and reviving themselves where they were not. Where unionists have succeeded in these engagements, it has been by working at a range of geographical scales, using the ‘power of place’ in the Pilbara and reshaping traditional geographies of union organisation. It is suggested here that many of these emergent outcomes are the result of the embeddedness of geographically specific historical structures along with new intersections of nationally and locally scaled labour politics. 相似文献

This paper reports on the design and implementation of a program to monitor the surface effects of longwall mining-induced
subsidence on wine grape yields within vineyards of Australia’s Hunter Valley. Implemented in 2003, this five-year project
incorporated a multi-scale, multi-temporal, sliding window monitoring design synchronised with progression of longwall panels.
On the vineyard-block scale, individual vine panels were sampled for grape yield. On the regional scale measures of vine photosynthetically
active biomass were obtained from remotely sensed, Quickbird satellite imagery. All data were analysed in conjunction with
three identified subsidence “zones”: minimum subsidence associated with chain-pillars, maximum subsidence associated with
the longwall, and a zone corresponding to the transition between them. Visual observations conducted throughout the campaign
confirmed the occurrence of isolated localised surface cracking, particularly in areas of maximum soil tension. However, both
vineyard and block-scale data indicated no obvious, systematic mining-induced viticultural effects in the study site investigated
during the study period. Rather, observed trends in vine yields were better explained by vine biophysical responses to climatic
factors. 相似文献

How mining companies overcome the problems faced by the fixity of resources and how they might come to exercise influence in societies which appear to be mostly post-industrial are complex questions of political geography. This is not least the case for a region such as the Pilbara—an iron ore site isolated from metropolitan centres—in Australia—a country isolated from many global centres and markets. At the same time, local struggles in this resources site have been profoundly influential in the making of a national neoliberal industrial relations agenda. Building on other scholarship on the Pilbara, but here re-emphasising the local scale and the details of work and regulation, provides a way to assess the place's wider importance. The Pilbara is a site of thoroughly transformed industrial relations, from a union space when export mining began in the 1960s to an employer stronghold today. Policy makers delivered changes to facilitate the remaking of employer power in workplaces in and beyond mining. This resource periphery has therefore been central to the remaking of national policy regimes. 相似文献
