With the growth of platform work, declining wages and poorer working conditions – how are workers fighting back in a digital age?

In only a decade, the labour market has changed beyond all recognition – from zero-hour contracts to platform monopolies, work for many people is changing fundamentally. New forms of work require new forms of organising. How are workers fighting back today? What challenges does this present for traditional trade unions? Join SME4Labour and Labour Together for a panel discussion exploring how workers are organising in the 21st century.

Speakers:

• Paul Nowak, General Secretary Designate, TUC
• Lucy Harley-Mckeown, Author, Reorganise
• Tom Hunt, Senior Fellow at Unions 21 and Deputy Director of theSheffield Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Sheffield
• Edward Saperia, Dean and Founder, The London College of Political Technology

Chair: Hannah O’Rourke, Director Labour Together
