Marketization in the healthcare sector affects the quality and
delivery of care, as well as healthcare workers’ working
conditions. Based on a comparison of England and Germany, along
with an in-depth case study looking at New York, USA, this volume
examines how trade unions respond to marketization processes and
the determinants of successful strategies. The author draws on a
rich empirical study to develop a theoretical framework that
accounts for sector-specific opportunity structures stemming from
marketization processes and on the relevant unions’ local-level
leeway that opens if they build up and mobilise the available
resources and capacities. The book identifies determinants of
successful trade union strategies, explains the puzzling
observation of similar strategic choices across different systems,
and draws conclusions for prospects of trade unionism in the
marketized healthcare sector. This book emphasizes the
transformative effect of marketization on healthcare and the
opportunities this change creates for unions, while giving special
attention to the local-level conditions of trade unionism in the
analysis of conflicts evolving around marketization in the hospital
sector. It is of interest to academics and practitioners working in
healthcare management, human resource management, and employment
relations.
