This book offers a novel examination of the relations,
actions, and practices of healthcare workers, analysed in terms of
collective mobilisation. Based on successive surveys
conducted over a twenty-year period in public and private
hospitals, it brings a rich new conceptualisation of both social
movements and care work. We’ve all witnessed the collective
mobilisation at play in hospitals during the Covid-19
pandemic. In such a structured, hierarchical environment, the
parallel with social movements highlights the ethical and
collective dimensions of care work, as well as the bonds of
solidarity and identification with the collective. Yet, healthcare
workers are often caught in a dilemma between fighting against
underfunding and deteriorating working conditions on the one hand,
and cooperating to keep the system standing and provide the best
care possible for patients on the other. The author's
approach in terms of consensual and conflictual mobilisations
brings a fresh theoretical and empirical contribution to the
literature on social movements, medical sociology, public health,
and the sociology of labour, whilst in-depth case studies bring to
light the experiences of healthcare workers and enrich the
narrative throughout.
