Series: Understanding Work and Employment Relations

It is impossible to view the news at present without hearing talk of crisis.

This timely book looks at how three major crises - the economy, pandemic and climate - are related to the crisis of work, making it more precarious, intense and unequal.

Providing an original and critical synthesis of recent trends in the field, expert scholars offer a programme for transcending the crisis of work.

Offering a timely contribution to understanding the important issues facing the world, this book presents an important new way of thinking about work in contemporary societies.

Reviews for Crises at Work: Economy, Climate and Pandemic

“This book provides valuable critical insights into how market fundamentalism contributes to a three-pronged crisis of economy, pandemic and climate destruction, that impacts a crisis of work.” Tony Dobbins, University of Birmingham “This book is a ‘must read’ about how our working lives are shaped by economic, climate and health crises. It offers some hope for shaping a future that delivers better outcomes for all.” Melanie Simms, University of Glasgow
