Description

Part 3 of the book series ‘Social Movements in the Workplace’ is entitled ‘Slutsnackat’. This anthology explores the workers’ collective as a force for change. It contains stories of overtime blockades, ‘work-by-the-book’ campaigns, the ‘Not Under 24,000’ struggle, collective resignations, the ‘skirt strike’, and what was almost an occupation… Permanent staff, hourly-paid staff, agency workers and prospective employees find clever strategies and remind us who it is that does the work. As the hourly-paid care assistants put it in the story ‘Are you taking the mickey out of us? You’re screwed without us.’
