How are trade unionists organising in the gig economy filled with zero hour contracts? How do we win as workers in the UK and internationally in these hostile times?
Join us at this Festival of Debate session to hear from our seasoned panellists how they’re *organising workers who have previously been seen as ‘difficult to reach’.*
We’ll learn from their *lessons and successes* before *practically troubleshooting* together how to win in our own workplaces/sectors.
