- Title
The Organization of Organized Discontent: The Case of the Postal Workers in Britain.
- Authors
Gall, Gregor
- Abstract
The case of the postal workers in Britain is examined in order to develop our knowledge of intra-union oppositional groupings. Such groupings within the postal workers are shown to have influence as the result of the ‘strategy’ of a small number of activists within largely conducive circumstances of internal strife and worker combativity. However, they do not accord to our normal understanding of factions, being better characterized as shifting and temporary networks and alliances.
