I would just like to let you know that Work Matters, the 26^th International Labour Process Conference is taking place at the Quinn School of Business in seven weeks time, from 18-20th March 2008. During its 25 year history ILPC has championed empirical research and theoretical debate about the employment relationship, work process and work quality, with an emphasis on fieldwork led studies and employee perspectives. ILPC 2008 is themed ‘Work Matters’ to particularly invite research addressing the meaning, experience and quality of work from individual and societal perspectives. This promises to be a packed and interesting conference with special papers on the themes of women’s work, public policy access and skill, assessing union organising, attractive employers and employable workers, developments in labour process debates, fun at work, and a wide range of work and employment related topics.

Keynote speakers include Professor Michael Burawoy of Berkeley speaking on the theme ‘The Public Turn: From Labour Process to Labour Movement’ and David Coats of the UK Work Foundation, on the question, ‘Good Work Matters?’

Full details of the conference, doctoral programme, accepted papers and more can be found on the website at http://www.hrm.strath.ac.uk/ILPC/

We warmly invite you to join us at Work Matters, to discuss work matters that really do matter.
