Undercurrents: Are the unions back?

from Public Interest · host Public Interest

In the face of a sweeping assault on workers’ rights, New Zealand’s unions seem to have found renewed confidence. But are we witnessing a genuine union revival, or is this just a blip in a longer story of decline? In this special live edition of Undercurrents, recorded in partnership with the Fabian Society, Ollie Neas is joined by New Zealand Council of Trade Unions President Sandra Grey and union organiser Justine Sachs to discuss the state of the union movement, the future of organised labour, and what it would take to build a workers' movement capable of transforming Aotearoa.
