Return to sender: A commentary on Darlington′s analysis of workplace unionism in the Royal Mail in Britain

Presents reported evidence which suggests that the overall resilience of workplace unionism to managerial challenges found in Liverpool can be found in many other Royal Mail workplaces in Britain. Analyses the various contours of union resistance, centred on strike action, to management′s reorganization of work and working conditions. In mounting this resistance, union members have faced the obstacles of not only Royal Mail management but also the full‐time officials of their own union.
