内容説明
Many to whom the label "employee" could be applied, have had to consider the possibility of engaging in strike activity. The strike is perhaps the ultimate weapon that an employee is able to wield in an attempt to exert any influence or bargaining power, and is therefore a powerful political tool. Whatever the catalyst for strike activity, an interesting area of political enquiry is the impact which the strike has on its participants, mainly the effect it has on the politicization process. The British mining industry is the focal point of this study, in particular the miners strike of 1984/5. The basic contention made by the book is that the strike can act as an agency of politicization. The fact that individuals participate in strike activity can have an effect on the politicization process, the agument presented in this book claims strikes affect levels of political participation, political awarenes, and can induce behavioural changes. The aim of the book is to assess the extent to which the strike of 1984/5 had an impact on the levels of politicization, with particular reference made to the Hemsworth area.
