Résumé
From New York to Madison. Workfare in the Public SectorThis article deals with workfare reforms in the 1990s and the way they impact the current debate on public workers in the United States. It focuses on New York and shows the consequences of a combination of factors: the specific institutional development of trade-unions in NY, the way local associations gave up on welfare and finally the streamlining of public services all jointly led to a deteriorating of working conditions in the public sector. These factors also paved the way for a weakening of the rights and status of public agents as illustrated also in Wisconsin.
