With a particular focus on the British printing industry, this book tackles the ongoing issue of pay inequality and examines the challenges facing many women today. By analysing organisation processes within the workplace, the author considers the unequal allocation of power resources that generate and sustain women’s invisibility and argues that women’s power is often outflanked by that of their male colleagues. Written by a skilled academic with direct industry experience, this new book is an insightful read for those researching human resource management (HRM), women’s studies and diversity, as well as trade union officials and policy-makers.
Tricia Dawson is a Lecturer in HRM at Keele University, UK and was previously Senior Lecturer in HRM at the University of Westminster. She was also employed by the Graphical, Paper and Media Union as Equality Policy Adviser for over 20 years from 1979.
