In
his major, two-volume publication Exiting
the Factory: Strikes and Class Formation beyond the Industrial Sector (Bristol
University Press, 2024), Alexander Gallas asks ‘what are the class effects of
non-industrial strikes – or in how far do they contribute to working class
formation?’ (Vol.1, P.12). He successfully demonstrates that collective action
in non-industrial sectors too results in class consciousness. Work may change
in certain parts of the world towards non-industrial sectors, but workers will
always struggle collectively to defend themselves against capitalist
exploitation. In this review, I will highlight some of the key achievements of
Gallas’ publication.
