About the author
Edmund Heery is Professor of Employment Relations at Cardiff Business School and an expert in UK Industrial Relations, best known for his work on trade unions. He has led projects on union organizing, union responses to contingent work, the changing role of the TUC, the involvement of unions in Amnesty International, and union policy on equal pay and work-life integration. More recently, Edmund has been involved in research on the UK's Living Wage, the changing activities of employers' organizations and the resolution of employment disputes. Among Edmund's publications are Union Voices: Tactics and Tensions in UK Organizing (Cornell University Press, 2013) (with Mel Simms and Jane Holgate), Reassessing the Employment Relationship (Palgrave MacMillan, 2011) (with Paul Blyton and Peter Turnbull), and Framing Work: Unitary, Pluralist and Critical Analysis in the 21st Century (Oxford University Press, 2016). Mike Noon is Professor of Human Resource Management at the School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London. He has taught Human Resource Management at UG and PG level (including MBAs) for over 25 years at some of the UK's leading universities. Mike's main research explores discrimination in work. Through various projects he has analysed the disadvantages faced by ethnic minorities, which has informed his commitment to challenging the assumptions behind mainstream equality and diversity policies in organizations. He argues for the pursuit of more progressive and creative approaches. He has published in leading academic journals and has two edited research books, but he is probably best known for his successful textbook The Realities of Work - now in its 4th edition - with Paul Blyton and Kevin Morrell.
