Issue 21: Shift Patterns

In this issue of Notes from Below, we focus on the hospitality industry in Britain. Hospitality sits within a group of sectors that are considered by the union establishment to be “unorganisable.” This issue shows this is not the case.

One of the most exciting aspects of the uptick in hospitality organising featured in this issue is the potential these struggles hold, both for transforming the industry, as well as in providing a training ground for a new generation of workplace militants. Each of the writers reflect on the different successes, challenges, and ways forward for organising in the industry.
