The Transformation of Discontent demonstrates that far from disappearing from the workplaces of the Global North, labor protest has merely changed character and now focuses on healthcare and education, with white-collar and white coat employees clashing with employers over wages, working conditions and professional autonomy.

Based on in-depth case studies of protest campaigns in four European countries - Denmark, Germany, Hungary, and Ireland - this book explores the ways in which teachers, nurses and medical doctors have developed a new repertoire of contention that unites their power to disrupt services with their duty to care for service users, such as patients, children and older people.

A study of the changes to labour mobilization including new protagonists and a shift from mass strikes to duty-based protest, this volume considers the impact of public sector unions on the labour movement and their role in renewing labour protests. It will be of interest to sociologists and scholars of political science with interests in social movements, public services, contentious politics and labour protests.
