This week we sit down with Eddie Conlon to discuss the state of Trade Unions in Ireland, how best to strengthen them, and the issues that need to be overcome. 

Eddie is a member of the Teacher's Union of Ireland and People Before Profit, and has been active in the trade union movement since the 1980s and a leader of many campaigns against social partnership and for workers' rights.  

Rupture Radio is a weekly podcast looking at news, politics and culture from a socialist perspective. It is produced by RISE members, and linked to Rupture - Ireland's eco-socialist quarterly. Check out the magazine at rupture.ie
