Abstract
This paper discusses the reasons that can be offered for the lower trade union membership rates of female part‐time workers in the UK and focuses in particular on female part‐timers’ attitudes to trade unions. The findings are based on original research: 50 qualitative interviews with female part‐time workers in the retail industry. The paper argues that female part‐timers are supportive of the aims of the trade union movement and concludes that an integrated approach is necessary in order to understand part‐timers’ unionization rates. This includes structural factors, the approach that trade unions have taken towards part‐time workers and attitudes towards trade unions.
