The EPSU Podcast

This week, we discover just what EPSU stands for. EPSU General Secretary, Jan Willem Goudriaan, joins the podcast to discuss public services, privatisation, and just how the pandemic has changed the way we look at work.

The world is changing, the economy is changing, and work culture is changing – but are unions keeping up? These changes have drawn young people to the service and care based gig economy; a world of zero-hour contracts and absent bosses and a blind spot for traditional labour unions. In the first #EPSUpodcast, Eve Livingston (author, Make Bosses Pay: Why We Need Unions) reimagines an inclusive labour movement that bridges the gap between trade unions and the new generation of precarious workers.
