Women, Work and Trade Unions
Author: Anne MunroPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317949102
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This study focuses on working-class women, catering and cleaning workers, and the way their interests were presented in trade unions. It argues that there is an institutional bias within trade unions which precludes the full representation of women's interests. Based on empirical research into two trade unions in the National Health Service, the book stresses the importance of how women's work is structured, in order to investigate the role of trade unions in challenging or reproducing inequalities.

Pages : 119
Book Description
This book, first published in 1941, is concerned to relate the argument for Trade Unionism to the needs of women who work, whether in their homes or outside them. It is, in part, a historical analysis of the inter-war years, and it also prefigures the changes to women’s working conditions brought about by the two World Wars. War necessitated the mass employment of women, and Trade Union action had greatly improved the position of the woman war-worker of 1941 compared to a quarter century previously. This invaluable book examines that Trade Union action.
Women Workers and the Trade Unions

Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
Updated with new chapters on 1987-1997 and 1997-2010 In this highly-praised book, Sarah Boston recounts the story of women workers from the early nineteenth century to the present day: the struggles and strikes, successes and failures in their strenuous efforts to organise and win recognition from employers and male trade unionists. Women Workers and the Trade Unions - now republished with the addition of two new chapters - is the only comprehensive account of this neglected overlap of women's history and labour history. In this enlightening history, Sarah Boston argues that male trade unionists' exclusionary treatment of women workers contradicted not only the socialist aims of most trade unions but also the very logic of trade unionism itself. The account is essential reading for anyone concerned with the history of industrial relations, but also with the history of feminism and of women in the workplace. This new and updated edition includes a new preface by Frances O'Grady, as well as the two new chapters by Sarah Boston. The new chapters cover the period from 1987 to 2010, exploring the specific struggles of that period, and women's ongoing fight for equal rights and equal pay in the post-Thatcher period and under New Labour.
