Abstract

Since the end of the 80s, the British public sector has experienced huge changes, combining processes of privatisation, restructuring and marketization. The current Conservative government stance towards employment relations is clearly extending the anti-union policies inherited from the Thatcher’s period, with a new law passed in 2016 that further restricts the right to strike. However, by comparison with the private sector, public sector employees still benefit from numerous collective agreements. This article looks into the strategy led by the small union representing probation officers to oppose the restructuring program that was enacted by the government in 2013 and to maintain some forms of collective bargaining at the national and workplace levels.
