It's all about organising - w/Rozanne Foyer

In this episode of the UnionDues podcast we feature an in-depth conversation with Scottish TUC General Secretary Rozanne Foyer.  Roz took up office in February 2020 and is the 13^th holder of the post – and first woman appointed to it.

We covered a lot of ground in our discussion – the Better Than Zero campaign to bring collective voice and action to precarious workers, how Covid has caused a fundamental rethink of what organising means in a period of social distancing and lockdown, working with the Scottish Government, and the ever-present question if Scottish independence – or not.

There’s time to for Roz to share her trade union journey, from very junior civil servant,  via chair of the STUC’s Youth Committee, co-hosting a session at the centenary STUC Congress with the legendary Mick McGahey, to the hopes for the role she now holds. As you’ll hear – the glass is definitely and defiantly half-full. Read the companion blogpost A Makes-You-Think production.
