Manage episode 391399443 series 3541993
In the latest UnionDues, Simon chats with Alice Martin from PIRC about labour market regulation, enforcement and the scourge of non-compliance. Just why does this matter so much to unions and what is the scope for action? Mel Simms looks at the theory that underpins this regulation in her #thought4theweek.

With Basit Mahmood adding his #RadicalRoundUp of union stories that problem won’t get covered n the mainstream media, and you have a bumper 1st edition of 2022. Companion blog for links, etc, here.
