Frame Extension in a Mature Social Movement: British Trade Unions and Part-time Work, 1967-2002

Abstract

Since the 1960s, British trade unions have developed a policy for representing the interests of part-time workers, a significant process of frame extension within a mature social movement. This article seeks to account for this change. It concludes that change was a product of the growth of feminist activism within unions, the deployment of instrumental and solidarity frames and a response to political opportunities provided by both the British state and European Union.

Trade union participation in CSR deliberation: an evaluation

“…In contrast to this ominous perspective, there are grounds for optimism for involvement in CSR deliberation to revitalise trade union membership if the new ‘collective action frame’ (Gahan and Pakarek, ) has greater resonance with the views of individuals formerly either indifferent to, or antagonistic towards, trade unions. Such a reframing of trade unionism opens the door to opportunity as well as threat, by demonstrating the relevance of trade unionism to those who might otherwise feel that trade unions are irrelevant for them (see, for example, Heery and Conley, : 13).…”

“…Indeed, in some cases trade unions have accepted this outsourcing, since it may appear to increase the security of permanent staff who are union members (Palier and Thelen 2010), creating a conflict of interest between the permanent staff and the temps. In some cases, unions are rediscovering their role and extending the frames of representation to reverse this trend (Heery and Conley 2007).…”

Women and the Modernization of British Trade Unions: Meanings, Dimensions and the Challenge of Change

“…This is because, as noted earlier, while the changing legislative context may have helped raise the profile of women's concerns at a societal level and within unions, deeper internal cultural problems remain; and, as Parker (2009) explains, women activists typically cite internal concerns as more significant drivers of change than external factors. Heery and Conley (2007) explore how mainstreaming can occur through a process of 'frame extension', with reference to union policy development for part-time workers. This process, they argue, occurred through several important developments, including: the mobilization and self-organization of specific groups of members and other key actors, such as feminist activists in positions of influence; and the way in which unions have been able to take advantage of the changing legislative framework, including European Directives on equality.…”

“…Women's issues in unions have often developed as a response to external regulatory and social drivers (Howell, 1996) as well as internal dynamics (Parker, 2009). The state, in particular, can play a central role, not only in terms of legislative enactments and political networks, but also directly and indirectly through resources such as the UMF (Heery and Conley, 2007). While not a direct objective of UMF projects, in a number of cases (e.g.…”
