Abstract

A number of authors have recently argued that the field of industrial relations could benefit from a greater engagement with feminist-influenced concepts and methodologies (Greene and Kirton 2003; Holgate et al. 2006); Wajcman 2000), with Holgate et al. (2006) proposing the greater use of intersectional analysis. By critiquing their earlier empirical studies of male and female trade union members (Hebson 2001; Holgate 2004; McBride 2001), the authors are able to provide insights into the contribution of intersectional analysis to industrial relations and identify two knotty issues which need to be untied before its use.
