S1/E2 Holly Turner & Andrew Meyerson: The National Health Service

Liam is joined by special guest host Ez Chigbo to learn more about the current working conditions faced by doctors and nurses and why striking is essential for the future of the NHS. https://www.redpepper.org.uk Summary In this Red Pepper and Surviving Society collaboration we platform workers and academics to explore the history of trade unions and industrial action in Britain. Executively produced by Liam Kennedy. Many of us within society feel disconnected from the politics of the workplace. Whilst action is at its highest level in decades, there remains very little substantive analysis of the backgrounds and longer histories that has led to specific strikes. The series places industrial action into wider debates about public ownership, capitalism and the economy.
