Drawing on qualitative interviews with 30 Uber drivers (15 male and 15 female), the study reveals that while all drivers face threats such as hijackings, assaults, and extortion, often linked to tensions with the minibus taxi industry, female drivers experience heightened vulnerabilities due to gendered perceptions of weakness and societal norms around women's safety. These perceptions lead female drivers to adopt restrictive work strategies such as operating only during daylight hours and in familiar areas, which significantly limit their earning potential and reinforce structural gender inequalities in the gig economy. In contrast, male drivers confront territorial violence and extortion, particularly near taxi ranks, but are less constrained in their spatial and temporal mobility. Despite these risks, drivers perceive Uber as relatively safer than competing platforms due to features like card payments and client identification. In response to pervasive threats, male and female drivers employ safety strategies including spatial avoidance, selective rider acceptance, and participation in WhatsApp safety networks. These findings contribute to debates on precarity and platform capitalism by demonstrating how violence, gender, and urban transport dynamics intersect to shape the lived experiences of digital labour. The study advances understanding of how platform workers negotiate safety, highlighting the gendered, precarious, and relational nature of gig work in a high-crime setting.","PeriodicalId":46619,"journal":{"name":"INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS JOURNAL","volume":"57 1","pages":"102-110"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/irj.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145909272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims for an empirical investigation of this relationship using quantitative data available from large government registers. We analyse data for all English businesses, which—linked to Individual Learner Record data (ILR) for participants in apprenticeship programmes—provide structural information on apprenticeship firms and other firms for the years 2010 to 2015. The descriptions show that around 10%–15% of all eligible firms undertook apprenticeships and that apprenticeship firms are larger both in terms of turnover and employment than other firms. Regression analysis is used to explore the nature of the relationship between apprenticeships and the firms' turnover. In models employing a range of observable characteristics and using Inverse Probability Weighting to alleviate the selection into apprenticeships, our findings point towards a positive relationship between engaging in apprenticeships and firm growth, but not to a change in business productivity.","PeriodicalId":46619,"journal":{"name":"INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS JOURNAL","volume":"57 1","pages":"87-101"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/irj.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145909129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our argument to explain this puzzling paradox of worsening labour conditions yet a lesser degree of unionisation finds that this is due to the financialisation of workers. On the one hand, workers with financial assets tend to reduce their unionisation due to their more financially solid position, pro-capital predisposition, perceived disconnection from union priorities, access to attractive remuneration benefits, a (psychological) sense of being owners (employers) and an alignment with capital's (employers’) interests. On the other hand, workers with financial liabilities tend to reduce their unionisation due to their more financially fragile position, fears of job and income loss and concerns about default, reluctance to incur the immediate costs of monthly union dues, worries about the social stigma linked to potential default and a tendency to prioritise individual interests over collective action. This paper aims to study the relation between the financialisation of workers and their unionisation by performing a time series econometric analysis centred on Portugal over the period from 1980 to 2023. Our results confirm that the financialisation of workers exerts a negative effect on the degree of unionisation in Portugal. The financialisation of workers has indeed been one of the main factors behind the deunionisation in Portugal since the 1980s.","PeriodicalId":46619,"journal":{"name":"INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS JOURNAL","volume":"57 1","pages":"59-74"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/irj.70014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145909110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
