- Description
- This article considers the importance of trade union action in attempting to promote workplace equality through collective bargaining with employers. It considers evidence from the UK but the arguments have a wider applicability. It is argued that progress on internal equality within unions is required if they are to fulfil their potential role in promoting gender equality at work.
