The Gall Era

Social management and conflicts

During the Gall Era, from September 1995 to July 2004, more than 110 strike warnings threatened 158 performances.

Fifty-seven performances were cancelled and 31 were presented in concert versions.

The book details the principal reasons for conflicts – wages, work organization and reduction of working time. It aims to explain how conflicts have developed and been resolved. It tries to qualify the issues and the future outlook.
