Abstract

The article investigates the nature of the increasing involvement of women in the decision‐making structures of the fifth largest UK union through a study of senior women union officials. It is argued that senior union women, operating within a feminist paradigm, balance both transformational and status quo objectives in working towards union survival and renewal.
