Futures solutions for many of tomorrows industrial workers prevail in firms matching or
exceeding the value of worker demands from employer and state, in tomorrows non-standard
employment labor market. This critical analysis covers stellar segments of tomorrow's labor
market; the predicted regulatory, legal, and labor environment for the private space industry in
transportation and mining for the 2020-2040 period. This paper predicts the beginning an outer-
space orientated industrial revolution, analyzing and predicting labor law in the transportation
and mining industry. What we conclude is that non-standard employment in tomorrows newly
emerging private space industries will be a partial norm where corporations are like futuristic
East India Companies.
This scenario compares and contrasts Canadian labor history, with modern and future labor
factors (Callaway 1-3) in specific areas of technology, labor, law, and industry to consider
overall cyclical factors. In law our prediction comparatively factors in contemporary limitations
of jurisdiction in air & space law (United Nations para. 1-17) with eighteenth century limitations
in jurisdiction of north America (Berle & Means 128-130). Emergence of economic expansion
derived from north American opportunity was due to the chartered corporation (Berle &Means
128) that necessarily navigated itself in a socially and economically self-sustainable manner in
minimally defined jurisdictions. Therefore we must examine a modern state endorsed body
which most closely reflects those qualities that may set precedent for labor, such as NASA for
example.
According to UN law all workers in transportation and mining for the private space industry
would be under jurisdiction of laws the nation where the spacecraft launches (United Nations
para. 8). This can be reflected in precedent set by American astronauts who protested long hours
and health concerns in the 1970's (Hiltzik Para. 3-4). This brief case although swift victory for
workers, note relative levels of autonomy and control over the workplace which gave bargaining
power to Astronaut workers, with NASA employers. The historical macro-example in
comparison is in fact the Winnipeg general strike (Fudge & Tucker 108), although on vastly
different scales. To the point that the Winnipeg general strike engaged a majority of workers to
manage a functioning autonomous city society, the Skylab strike engaged all workers to function
as a society by themselves without authoritative power. The comparative quality that both cases
of workers necessarily had remote autonomy away from central authority and control over
industry is key. This likely won't always be the case in future developments of the private space
industry.
We now bring attention to outlook on transportation and mining for the private space
industry. Once again referring back to Callaway's baseline prediction (1-3), with conservative
estimates by 2040 there's significant demand for transportation and mining workers. The
workplace is under less control of the government and more control of industrialists. Once again
we analyze today and history in order to predict the future. Just as yesterdays key transportation
infrastructure for North America was privately funded in Railroad (Fudge & Tucker ) and
Shipping industries, today's spaceflight infrastructure is in the midst of being privately funded
(ref). This is where 20th century Canadian labor law and history will reflect the upcoming space-
