This Saturday will see tens of thousands of people march through London to demand a new deal for workers.


The TUC rally has been organised to highlight how millions of people are stuck in low-paid, insecure and part-time jobs.


Ahead of the gathering the TUC’s Frances O’Grady talks to Jason Beattie and Mark Ellis about why they called the march, what they hope it will achieve and why the Government needs to act.


She explains how work is no longer the way out of poverty. 


The changing nature of work, with more people having to do agency jobs or zero hours contracts, has created a generation who are struggling to pay the bills, provide for their family and get on the housing ladder.


Frances also talks about why the Government must give all public sector workers a pay rise, not just NHS staff.


And she discusses the challenges facing the trade union movement in attracting new members, especially young workers on temporary contracts. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
