G. Kirton and G. Healy

Working Papers from University of Hertfordshire - Business Schoool

Abstract: This paper draws on a qualitative case study of senior union women in the trade union Manufacturing, Science &Finance (MSF) to provide insights into the way women officials use their agency to recruit women members and to encourage their activism. The focus on senior trade union women is important since these women are potentially in a more powerful position to have an impact on patriarchal union culture.
