1913 Lockout - Unfinished Business - Episode 6
In our final episode of the 1913 Lockout podcast series we look at how workers can organise today to meet the challenges we face.
We take a critical look at the state of the Irish trade union movement today and explore what needs to be changed.
We speak with Joe Carolan, Organiser with Unite, on his experience with organising Fast Food Workers in New Zealand and hear from Esther Lynch, Legal and Legislative Officer ICTU, on the legislative framework for Irish trade unions. Derek Keenan, chair of the ICTU Youth Committee, speaks to us about what the trade union response has been to Job Bridge and Kieran Allen, Lecturer and Shop Steward, addresses the history of social partnership.
This episode also takes a look at a form of community unionism as advocated by the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci.
The series concludes with group discussion on the need for a reinvigorated mass movement of workers to fight back against bosses, and where to go from here.
