Are You in This Country? How “Local” Social Relations Can Limit the “Globalisation” of Customer Services Supply Chains
The relocation of thousands of call centre and back office jobs from the UK to subcontractors in India in the early 2000s led to extensive speculation that the “globalisation” and “jobs flight” of service work was underway. Yet as this article illustrates some call centre customer services do not easily transfer to different local, social and cultural contexts. Call centre operations are embedded in local social relations and taken for granted sk…
Resistance, Regulation and Rights
Faced with high levels of unemployment and discrimination in Poland, Polish women have made up a very large proportion of those leaving the former Communist states of central Europe, to work in EU member states. They have constituted a large undocumented migrant workforce in Europe, usually working as domestic workers and carers in the informal economy. Poland’s membership of the EU is starting to regulate Polish women’s work abroad and to increa…
Changing Times
Fragmented feminisms
Both governments and international donors now increasingly recognise women's organisations as key actors in the promotion of women's rights, democracy, and citizenship. Yet they remain, on the whole, poorly equipped for this role. The precarious, under-funded, and short-term existence of most women's organisations does not equate with a flourishing civil society. If women's organisations are to have more impact, they and their sponsors need to de…
Gender Segregation at Work
Women and Work
Men's Work, Women's Work
The Limits of Change
Women make up the majority of local government employees in Great Britain but are not, however, evenly represented throughout the employment structure. Rather, women are overwhelmingly concentrated in low paid, low status and often part‐time jobs, and are under‐represented as decision makers, either as managers or elected council members. The situation of black and ethnic minority women is one of even greater marginalization. From 1982–7 over 200…
Women in Management
Management, like science and engineering, is an occupational area where women are severely under represented and consequently has been the focus of a number of positive-action training initiatives designed to increase the proportion of women in management. These initiatives have tended to cluster around two different strategies. One has been to target adult women and women 'returners' and to facilitate their entry into management jobs through the…
Wigan Pier Revisited
Redundant Women
Going Private
This article is about the impact of'privatization' on the conditions of employment of women who work as cleaners. It comes out of research in progress on the cleaning industry as a whole, but here the focus is on women's cleaning jobs in the National Health Service (NHS). It argues that as more and more cleaning services are sub-contracted out to private contractors, the already poor pay and conditions found in this work can be seen to be deterio…
The Protection Racket
The employment of women and young people is restricted by protective legzlation. First introduced during the nineteenth century, it was designed to protect women and children from the worst excesses of exploitation at work. When the Equal Pay Act and the Sex Discrimination Act became law in 1975, protective legislation, as contained in the 1961 Factory ,4cts, remained in operation alongside. At the time it was argued that such limitation on women…
