This book describes and analyses the impact of the 2007-2008
financial crisis upon the working conditions of employees in the
financial services sector in Britain. It tells the story of workers
being made to pay the price for a crisis that was not of their own
making, but nevertheless caused a deleterious impact on their
employment security, remuneration and working conditions. Evidence
of fighting back against this has been sparse so that the response
of employees is best characterised as 'fright' (grudgingly working
harder and longer), 'flight' (leaving the sector through
redundancy), and 'falling in line' (accepting the diktat of
performance managements systems). Through this book we learn the
reasons behind this acquiescence, with its detailed attention to
topics such as the stunted development of labour unionism, the
prevalence of union-management partnerships, and the occurrence of
employment insecurity and labour shedding. Providing a valuable
insight into the effects of the financial crash, Employment
Relations in Financial Services will be useful to academics,
students and also trade unionists.
