La reestructuración organizativa y la fragmentación del colectivismo en la industria aeroespacial en el Reino Unido: las perspectivas de una renovación sindical.

Abstract

The aerospace industr y constitutes an important example of rapid and radical rebuilding of the organisation, something that has yet to be studied adequately. This paper analyses this restr ucturing and researches its effects on the major unions in the industr y as well as their different types of response. The paper questions current strategy and union identity typologies as well as unions' prescriptive analysis of what their proper response to organisational restr ucturing is. It argues that any evaluation of the complexity of union activity and workplace relations must bear in mind the legacy of traditional for ms of workplace unionism and the extent to which they can be adapted to face the «new flexible workplace» management strategies.
