Queer? Unionist? Enjoyed the movie Pride? Wondering what the unions have done for you lately, or grumbling about them as you knock off at five for the weekend?

 

Fighting for workers' right has been a cause for centuries, but where does it stand with the queer women of the here and now?

 

Listen in to Jill, Moira, Nicky and Nida talking intersections of queerness and unions.
