History of Work and Labour Relations in the Royal Dockyards Hardback
Edited by Ann Day, Kenneth Lunn
Part of the Routledge Studies in Employment and Work Relations in Context series
Hardback
Description
Focusing on the work and labour history of shipyard workers in the Royal Dockyards, this text examines the question of state employment and the specific characteristics of that pattern of industrial relations.
It encompasses discussions of the nature of work and resistance to forms of authority.
Particular forms of control are available to the employer which are absent from the experience of the private sector.
In addition, the state is often under pressure to act as a model employer, and this can lead to tensions between this objective and the need for financial constraint and public surveillance of the uses of taxation.
