Why Organized Labour is the Key to Fighting Back feat. Ayesha Jabbar and Dave Bush

In this four part mini-series, Spring Radio takes a closer look organized labour. The series dives into the rank-and-file strategy, the history of the labour movement, what it means to be rooted in organized working-class movements, and how can we organize to win. In this first instalment, spring member Josh Frame talks to Ayesha Jabbar, Spring member and OPSEU labour organizer, and Dave Bush, longtime labour journalist and Spring member. They discuss the revolutionary potential of workers, the trade unions, and why an orientation to labour is strategically necessary to deliver meaningful wins for the working class.
