Past and possible strike activity and worker autonomy – the New Zealand case
Declining union density in the advanced capitalist world has been largely attributed to macro- and union factors. However, widespread increases in strike activity support pre-pandemic observations of its potential. This paper reviews scholarship on macro-, meso- and micro-influences on strike activity before focusing on the micro-factors emphasised in studies concerned with workers’ propensity to strike. Statistical analyses of survey data from N…
Gender, climate change and trade unions
This conceptual article explores the tensions that climate change creates between environmental sustainability, gender equality and economic stability. It argues that these dimensions fundamentally challenge the foundations of traditional industrial relations (IR) and thus trade union strategy. By bringing union studies into dialogue with feminist political economy and eco-feminist perspectives, and drawing on scholarship and current evidence of …
The International Work Addiction Scale (Iwas)
Just transitions, trade unions and the need for a new (European) eco-social contract
Collaboration, relationships and fleeting opportunities
The aim of, Jane’s, Soundwaves Early Childhood Music lead, and Karen’s, Early Childhood Studies lecturer, inquiry is to encourage new insights into how multiple relationalities and learning play out, throughout Soundwaves, an early childhood music education (ECME) programme. We work with Barad’s diffractive methodology to shape our auto-ethnography. With pens, sparkly bits, ribbons, glue and paper, we map the Soundwaves narrative. Caring ethics, …
Whose equity? What equity? The role of Pacific staff networks in progressing gender and intersectional equity at work
As in many nations, New Zealand's (NZ) government has sought to implement workplace policies in public service agencies, including equity initiatives to accelerate diversity and inclusion. However, these processes have been disrupted by the labour market and wider effects of Covid-19 and austerity policies. This is significant for NZ-based Pacific women workers, who often face pronounced workplace inequities though scant knowledge exists about th…
Action collective, action de mouvement social
Les syndicats peuvent contribuer à la liberté au travail par une action collective axée sur l'intérêt des membres, mais aussi en nouant des partenariats avec d'autres acteurs de la société civile, dans le cadre d'un mouvement social. Pour traiter ce dernier aspect, encore peu documenté, les auteurs s'appuient sur les définitions de la liberté de Berlin (1988) et MacCallum (1967) puis sur la théorie de la démocratie radicale de Laclau et Mouffe (2…
Historical Developments in the Gender Pay Gap in Aotearoa New Zealand
The road to gender pay equity in Aotearoa New Zealand has been long and circuitous. Progress over the past 70 years with campaigns, legal cases and regulatory changes have ebbed and flowed. New Zealand's gender pay gap at 9.5 per cent is comparatively small, reflecting significant gains in gender pay parity in the public sector following the introduction of a series of equity initiatives. Yet gender pay parity remains elusive for many. Analyses o…
Bargaining for gender equality in Aotearoa New Zealand
Collective bargaining remains an important yet underexplored mechanism in the pursuit of workplace gender equality. Through gender equality bargaining efforts, unions seek to address the lack of equity for working women. Yet little is known of the extent of equality bargaining provisions, or about where provisions and the factors that influence their availability occur. Contributing to this disparity is a lack of data measuring gender equality pr…
Social movement unionism through radical democracy
Union‐civil alliances have garnered scholarly and practitioner attention in many nations. Drawing on extensive documentary evidence, this qualitative study examines the rationales for this, focusing on coalitions involving New Zealand's peak labour body and its affiliates around climate change and workplace issues. Laclau and Mouffe's (2001) seminal political theory on radical democracy frames a critical reading of social movement unionism and un…
Pragmatic evaluation of transdisciplinary research on gender equity in the New Zealand public service
Purpose Despite the need for such, little scholarly attention has been paid to transdisciplinary enquiry into gender inequities in workplaces. The authors provide a pragmatic evaluation of the transdisciplinary research (TDR) model by Hall et al. (2012) for framing the study of this societal issue, shedding light on the challenges, principles and values that could usefully inform subsequent TDR in organisational settings. Design/methodology/appro…
Gender and ethnic equity in Aotearoa New Zealand's public service before and since Covid‐19
Since its bi‐cultural foundation with Te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi, signed in 1840 by Māori, the indigenous Polynesian people of Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), chiefs and representatives of the British Crown), cultural identities have expanded through immigration. While Aotearoa NZ's government seeks to encourage workplace diversity in public service agencies, developments are being disrupted by Covid‐19. Using a typology of equality …
The revival and refashioning of gender pay equity in New Zealand
While the foundations for redressing gender pay inequality in New Zealand were established half a century ago, significant numbers of women still endure the sharp end of gender-based pay differentials. Following a landmark test case in the aged care sector which focused on the (re)interpretation of the Equal Pay Act 1972, gender pay equality is once again under intense scrutiny. On the 125th anniversary of women’s suffrage, the New Zealand govern…
Replicating state Quitline innovations to increase reach
Changing quitline services and implementing a new media campaign increased treatment reach and the estimated number of participants who quit smoking in three states. Quitline funders and tobacco control program managers may wish to consider approaches such as these to increase quitline utilization and population health impact
Employee engagement, organisational commitment, and job satisfaction in Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe
The goal of this study was to measure employee engagement (EE), organisational commitment (OC), and job satisfaction (JS) in Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. We surveyed a convenience sample of 631 employees (South Africa: n = 219; Namibia: n = 212; and Zimbabwe: n = 200). The employees completed a selection of items from the Employee Engagement Scale, the Organisational Commitment Scale, and the Job Satisfaction Scale. Following analysis of …
How can wages sustain a living? By getting ahead of the curve
Are we being served? Women in New Zealand's service sector
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide contemporary information and analysis of women's location within the service sector of New Zealand; to evaluate the responsiveness of two major policy initiatives designed to ameliorate women's circumstances therein; and to reconceptualise and suggest possible approaches and measures which could inform future government and workplace policy and practice
Equality and diversity in employment relations
Purpose The pursuit of equality and valuing of diversity are central tenets of much organisational thinking and public policy development. However, in this current age of austerity we are witnessing a number of existing and proposed “fairness initiatives” feeling the sharp blade of a cost‐cutting axe. This paper is a reflexive response that aims to examine a piece of action research in the field of industrial relations. It aims to take the profes…
