Exiting the Factory (Volume 2)
Bristol University Press (Verlag)
978-1-5292-4222-5 (ISBN)
In this important book, Gallas asks what strikes in non-industrial sectors mean for class formation, a critical question which has been largely unaddressed by the current literature on global labour unrest.
A mapping of strikes around the world and case studies from Germany, Britain and Spain cast new light on class relations, struggles around waged and unwaged work and labour movements in contemporary capitalism to bring class theory back to labour studies.
This is a valuable resource for academics and students of employment relations, sociology and politics.
This second volume focuses on empirical strike research.
Alexander Gallas teaches in the Department of Political Science at the University of Kassel in Germany.
