Description

This issue focusses on labour conflicts and the problems of governance which affect the traditional and new institutions of industrial relations in a society that is increasingly dominated by service production. Against the background of an overall decline in strike activity and the emergence of new forms of industrial action, the specific features of services raise a number of new issues. For instance, strikes have effects on actors, such as users of public services, who are not represented at the bargaining table. The articles in this issue consider to what extent and in what ways these changes might affect the traditional processes of negotiation and the actors involved.
