Description
Here, in their own words, Cabin Crew Conflict tells the strikers' story, focusing on cabin crew responses, perceptions of events, and their lived experiences of taking industrial action in a hostile climate. Foregrounding questions of class, gender and identity, and how these were manifest in the course of the dispute, the authors highlight the strike's significance for contemporary employment relations in and beyond the aviation industry.
Lively and insightful, Cabin Crew Conflict explores the organisational and ideological role of the trade union, and shows how a 'non-traditional' workforce can organise and take effective action.

Media Reviews
'Deserves to be read by everyone interested in building a better world for workers' -- Paul Mason, author of 'PostCapitalism: A Guide to Our Future'
'Unique ... it lays bare cabin crew emotions ranging from the sense of injustice, anger, fears and anxieties to the joy and sense of liberation that can come from collective organisation' -- Maxine Peake, Actress and Writer
'This excellent book is a timely reminder that strikes and conflict remain enduring features of UK industrial relations. The authors make a significant theoretical and empirical contribution to our understanding of the meanings of strike action from the perspective of strikers themselves, and to our knowledge of strikes generally' -- Richard Hyman, author of 'Understanding European Trade Unionism: Between Market, Class and Society'
