Public sector restructuring and the re‐regulation of industrial relations: the three‐decade project of privatisation, liberalisation and marketisation in Royal Mail
分析了英国皇家邮政在1994年、2009年私有化失败后于2013年成功私有化的过程,强调工作场所工会的强大存在如何使工会在高度敏感的政治重组项目中获得显著影响力和谈判成果。
Abstract The British postal service, Royal Mail, was privatised in 2013, following failed attempts at divestiture in 1994 and 2009. This article analyses processes of marketisation, liberalisation and privatisation, highlighting how strong workplace‐centred union presence allowed for considerable influence and bargaining gains within such highly sensitive political projects of restructuring.
