Management perceptions of sexual harassment of hotel room attendants
This research addresses calls for organizational perspectives of guest-initiated sexual harassment of employees; in this case, hotel room attendants. Workers, such as room attendants, working in jobs with high customer interaction, are particularly liable to sexual harassment. This exploratory study investigates the perspectives of personnel from hotel executive management as to how they understand and manage guest-initiated sexual harassment. To…

Operationalizing Intersectionality
This paper explores the complexities surrounding the lived experiences of skilled migrant women and men from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESBs) who arrive in Australia and attempt to seek work. The paper will analyze the migrants' experiences using intersectionality theory as a framework. Drawing on Anthias's social relations framework, this research will contribute to the field by demonstrating how intersectionality theory can be operation…
Part-time work and advancement
One focus of gender equity policies in universities has been the creation of ‘retention’ part-time work for professional staff, which allows employees to move between full-time and part-time hours at their request. This paper examines whether such ‘good’ part-time jobs can contribute to or at least not impede women’s career advancement. The paper examines the correlation between job classification and part-time work, and whether a period of part-…

Self-reported harassment and bullying in Australian universities
We analyse data from the largest survey of university staff in Australia to determine whether bullying and harassment are more common in regional than metropolitan and Go8 universities, and to what extent any differences could be attributed to other factors. While professional staff showed no difference in harassment rates between regional and metropolitan and Go8 universities, academic staff at regional universities reported significantly higher…
Sexual Harassment of Women Working as Room Attendants within 5-Star Hotels
Given the gendered power relations and the isolated nature of women hotel room attendants' working environments, guest-initiated sexual harassment experienced by room attendants is a significant, under-investigated problem. This study of women attendants' experiences of sexual harassment was conducted in 5-star hotels located on the Gold Coast - a notable tourism destination - of Q ueensland, A ustralia. Adopting a socialist-feminist critical the…
School-aged workers
While the literature points to significant shifts in young peoples' labour market participation and the social, economic and political context in which this has occurred, it tells us little about whether and in what sense young people can be considered as industrial citizens. We explored the notion of youth citizenship using data derived from 48 focus groups conducted with 216 young people (13-16 years of age) at 19 high schools in Australia. The…
Young people's aspirations for education, work, family and leisure
Young people are arguably facing more 'complex and contested' transitions to adulthood and an increasing array of 'non-linear' paths. Education and training have been extended, identity is increasingly shaped through leisure and consumerism and youth must navigate their life trajectories in highly individualised ways. The study utilises 819 short essays compiled by students aged 14-16 years from 19 schools in Australia. It examines how young peop…
Mt Lesueur as a 'Space of Engagement
In 1989, the mining giant Conzinc Riotinto of Australia (CRA) announced its intention to establish a coal mine and a privately owned power station near Mt Lesueur in Western Australia (WA). Local farmers initiated a campaign against the proposal, with other residents, unions, environmental movement organisations, artists and scientists being crucial to strategy formation and implementation. Campaigners faced the reality that although the Mt Lesue…
Red and Green
The three articles and research note in this thematic section explore intersections between labour history and environmental history, including productive alliances and tensions between the two. This introductory essay contextualises these studies by considering the nature of environmental history, its historiographical development, key contributions to the field in Australia and elsewhere, theoretical stances in the field, and what it is that en…
Red, Green and In-between
‘If the climate was a bank, the governments would have saved it by now.’ Thus did one of the keynote speakers remind the audience in a humorous way of the urgency of the issue. Held in Brisbane on 6 February 2010, this conference brought together activists and academics (noting that the two categories are not mutually exclusive) and, most importantly, musicians and singers. Attracting 100 people, the conference was organised by the Brisbane Labou…
WorkChoices, ImageChoices and the marketing of new industrial relations legislation
This article takes a critical discourse approach to one aspect of the Australian WorkChoices industrial relations legislation: the government's major advertisement published in national newspapers in late 2005 and released simultaneously as a 16-page booklet.This strategic move was the initial stage of one of the largest 'information' campaigns ever mounted by an Australian government, costing more than $AUD137 million. This article analyse the s…

The Politics and Poetics of Union Transgression
This article reports on an unusual participant observer study of a union campaign. The researchers are an academic with an interest in union strategy and a visual artist/community arts trainer. We used a multi-method approach, with a focus on ethnography. Visual mater- ial (including many photographs) and ephemera were collected as part of the study. The essay examines how the use of visual repre- sentations contributed both to the unfolding meth…

Public Sector Labour Relations in Western Australia – An Overview
The election of a LiberalNational Coalition government in 1993 heralded a period of significant and sustained change in Western Australian public sector labour relations. As legislator, the Coalition government embarked upon a program to decentralise and deregulate the Western Australian industrial relations system; as an employer, the government has had to respond to the economic imperatives which have faced most employers in recent years. The r…

Blue Singlets and Broccoli
Raymond Williams once wrote that “the task of a successful socialist movement will be one of feeling and imagination quite as much as one of fact and organisation”.1 What did Williams mean by this? My interpretation, which I think is consistent with Williams’ whole body of work, is that he was arguing that left politics – and by implication studies of social and labour movements – should take a “cultural turn”. Williams was warning us not to over…
