Work Organisation Volume 4 Number 1
Between a rock and a hard place: the shaping of employment in a global economy
ISBN: 9780850367041 ISSN 1745-6451X (220 pages)
Price: £16.95
When the irresistible force of globalisation meets the immovable object of specific national labour laws, industrial
relations and working practices, as the song goes, ‘something’s gotta give’. This special issue of Work
Organisation, Labour and Globalisation explores what ‘gives’ when work is reshaped in this encounter. Pummelled
between the rock of global market forces on the one hand and national laws, traditions and cultures on the other,
how is work being reshaped in different industries and countries and what price is being paid by workers in their
daily lives? How are national policies and trade union strategies able to resist the impact of global forces? And
what other factors are shaping the experience of work in the 21st century?
