What price Equality, Diversity, Inclusivity?

In the latest UnionDues podcast,  we look at members’ networks as a way of meeting the challenges of Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity,  focussing on the pharmacists’ union the PDAU.  Their networks have blossomed since being established last year.  But you have to pay to join them, and they’re open to non-members.  How can this work?  We talk to officials and equality activists to find out this is changing not just the union but the whole sector.

Also in this episode, Mel Simms deals with the risks of employee surveillance in an age of home-working in her #thought4theweek.  We shout out to Openreach engineers in dispute. And Josiah Mortimer shares his #RadicalRoundUp – including collapsing union confidence in government Covid response, important developments in the Heathrow Airport #FireAndRehire dispute, and students and unions at SOAS demand a better deal from university authorities.

The UnionDues podcast is part of the Labor Radio Podcast network.
