Do we need stronger unions?

Voice of the UK

Available for over a year

The UK's most senior trade unionist is calling on the government to demonstrate "whose side it is on" following the Labour reshuffle. The General Secretary of the TUC, Paul Nowak, will tell his annual conference in Brighton on Monday that the government must do more for working class communities. He will argue that Labour's promise of change at the last election doesn't feel like "a lived reality". Adam Flemming asks listeners: Do we need stronger unions?
