Touching down : labour, globalisation and the airline industry

Auteur :
WHITELEGG, D.

Description :
The paper argues that as companies have become more complex and interconnected during the process of globalisation in the 1990s, a dialectic has been at work that provides workers with a newfound power. Lessons are drawn from the British Airways cabin crew strike of 1997, in which workers successfully resisted attempts to remove union recognition.
