Abstract

And instead of individual loyalty, Doellgast emphasizes the more collective term "solidarity" or the workers' willingness to support collective action around issues relating to work and the workplace. Technicians tend to be male, while call centre workers tend to be more female - and perhaps more likely workers of colour. But as Doellgast rightly describes, however, there is a choice for companies and this choice can become contested or, in other words, labour unions can push back against the companies' market-based choice.
