Sian Moore and Phil Taylor presented the findings from their recent book on the 2009-2011 British Airways Cabin Crew Dispute. Cabin Crew Conflict (Pluto, 2019) tells the strikers’ story, focusing on cabin crew responses, perceptions of events, and their lived experiences of taking industrial action in a hostile climate. Foregrounding questions of class, gender and identity, and how these were manifest in the course of the dispute, Moore & Taylor highlighted the strike’s significance for contemporary employment relations in and beyond the aviation industry.
Sian Moore is Professor in Employment Relations and Human Resource Management at the University of Greenwich. Phil Taylor is Professor of Work and Employment Studies at Strathclyde Business School.
