Sociology: work & labour; Political economy; Industry & industrial studies

In this important book, Gallas asks what strikes in non-industrial sectors mean for class formation, a critical question which has been largely unaddressed by the current literature on global labour unrest.

A mapping of strikes around the world and case studies from Germany, Britain and Spain cast new light on class relations, struggles around waged and unwaged work and labour movements in contemporary capitalism to bring class theory back to labour studies.

This is a valuable resource for academics and students of employment relations, sociology and politics.

This second volume focuses on empirical strike research.

Reviews for Exiting the Factory (Volume 2): Strikes and Class Formation beyond the Industrial Sector

“Focusing on non-industrial strikes, Gallas rejects both the nostalgia of ‘regulated’ capitalism, shared by many trade unionists, and the fashionable claims that the working class has vanished. He shows that working people are developing class consciousness through collective action and points to a bright future. Reading this essential book may be the first step to support its emergence.” Nicolas Pons-Vignon, University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland
