‘We All Stand Together’ (Or Do We?)
Why and when do we feel the impetus to act in solidarity with others? Labour and social movement scholars have long tackled this question to understand the rise and fall of trade unionism and collective action. In this article, we examine how solidarity can emerge by linking industrial relations scholarship with research on morality to clarify the interplay between moral emotions, perceptions of injustice and the construction of a sense of ‘we-ne…
Burning Down the House? On the ‘New-wave’ Literature on Worker Representation, and the Case for the Space Between
A growing and significant ‘new-wave’ of literature maintains that studies on equality and inclusion in labour representation would benefit from a stronger focus on collective action led by (migrant) precarious workers, both within but especially beyond established unions. The debate also incorporates and overlaps with the growing recognition of intersectional approaches to industrial relations and the need to think more inclusively about identiti…
Vested interests? Unions, the gilets jaunes movement and the bases for sustainable solidarity
In the 2010s, in response to the impact of the financial crisis of 2008, anti-establishment, anti-austerity, pro-democracy movements such as Occupy!, the Spanish indignados and, in 2018, the gilets jaunes in France emerged. With the rise of independent unions and new forms of work and organising in the platform economy, the future of unions increasingly depends on their ability to engage with a broader range of social and community-based interest…
Employment regulation as the warm house for neoliberalism? Comparing higher education in France and the UK
In this article we consider the assumption that representative institutions within the workplace, like such as those existing in France, allow for a sustainable opposition to the employer. The article draws on data from a comparative employment relations project exploring variants of the institutionalisation of labour and the space for alternative forms of engagement with capital. We draw on data and casework in higher education institutions in F…
Covid‐19 and the work of trade unions
Trade unions face long‐term challenges including declining memberships that threaten their influence. COVID‐19 created new challenges and possibilities for renewal. This article presents findings from a study conducted during the pandemic, comprising a large survey and interviews that investigated how unions adapted to the changes to working life they and their members faced. Evidence from UK unions shows unions rapidly changing how they worked, …
‘We just get a bit set in our ways’
In a broader context of austerity, sustained financial pressures and policies of restructuring and outsourcing have steadily eroded traditional features of UK public sector employment such as job security, fair reward and collective representation through trade unions. This article examines how a UK trade union representing local government workers attempted to respond more effectively to radical restructuring plans. By engaging in a process of d…

Justice for Janitors' goes Dutch
Organizing has been adopted as a strategy for union renewal in the Netherlands, where the dominant repertoire has been consensus-based social dialogue. Certain Dutch unions have developed strategies inspired by the US 'organizing model' and have been relatively successful in recruiting and mobilizing under-represented workers. Despite some tensions emerging, the introduction of organizing resulted in the greater representation of workers in secto…
Transformation and Continuities in Urban Struggles
Spain was one of the countries at the heart of the work of Manuel Castells due to its history of urban struggles and labour–urban based alliances. It formed one of the key examples of city movements and the democratisation of urban spaces. The 1960s and 1970s were seen to throw up a range of new types of urban mobilisation and engagement—in part based on issues of internal migration and its urban and employment impact. With the changes in Spain d…
Union renewal in France and Hyman's universal dualism
This paper draws upon the work of Richard Hyman to examine the question of union renewal in France. Developing a discussion around union renewal is particularly significant in the context of France, since studies on French unions since the mid-1980s have centred on the movement's 'decline' and 'crisis', and France has rarely been included in comparative studies on union renewal and revitalisation. The paper uses empirical data collected from 2003…
