A chapter in Meaningful Work and Workplace Democracy, 2014, pp 206-211 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract I have sought to identify the philosophical basis of a political agenda which attends to the importance of mcaningfulncss in work. In order to diversify and expand the range of work which is conducive to mean- ingfulness, I have argued for a set of institutional guarantees, including an entitlement to democratic participation in determining the purposes, means, and circumstances of the work one does through the Capability for Voice. “Moreover”, specifying institutional guarantees implies a public policy suite designed to secure meaningful work for all, including: a good work index; a basic income guarantee; an entitlement to individual capability development through institutional belonging; a regulatory framework establishing direct and representative employee voice, which includes the collective voice of union representation; an equal playing field for different organisational forms, such as mu tuais, cooperatives, and employee-owned enterprises-and a general dismantling of hierarchies or networks which foster the arbitrary use of power through non-democratic authority.
