11: Who Are the Trade Unions Really For?

from Life of the Party

To kick off series two of Life of the Party Shanice, Jonas and Joe are back to their usual antics with spicy hot takes and pressing party news. This week Jonas gives you the lowdown on Your Party's CEC elections so far. Meanwhile Shanice goes against the grain: arguing that trade unions aren't the only site of working class struggle, and why Your Party and the Greens shouldn't formally affiliate to them.Readings:Disaster Nationalism - Richard SeymourGrub first, then ethics? - Jonas MarvinLenin's Last Struggle - Moshbe LewinCREDITSHosted by Shanice McBean, Jonas Marvin and Joe Todd.Edited by Marcus Berdaut⁠⁠⁠⁠.Design by Rachel Carr / rachelcarr.co.ukMusic by Benjamin Tissot / 9INTLNTLWTYTDKVNAfter Hours Music by Marcus P / MADSQ4HJPOYFTZ1TBecome a supporter: patreon.com/LifeofthePartyFollow us on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠This is an Ampersounds production.⁠ Hosted on Acast.
