Eve Livingston joins us to talk about her new book Make Bosses Pay : Why We Need Unions, a call to change history through union membership and organising. 

 

We discuss the variety of unions available, how traditional, inaccurate notions of work and workers can be overcome, cultural capital (as in whether your accent or how many museums you visit matters), what Sharon Graham's Unite might look like, the link between unions and The Labour Party, and the dangers of the friendly HR department. 

 

Plus, fake Labour Party disciplinary investigations. 

 

And finally, Matt gets an email.
