Reasons Revisited

FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS: Learning from the US campaigns to organise at Amazon and Starbucks

Hello! America has seen a wave of recent union victories by Amazon and Starbucks workers, and this week we’re looking at why they’ve succeeded where many others have failed, and what UK unions can learn. We’re joined by Starbucks organiser Casey Moore, Director of CLASS, Ellie Mae O’Hagan and General Secretary of Prospect Union, Mike Clancy. Plus, Geoff celebrates his birthday!  Email your comments, questions and episode ideas to <a href="mailto:reasons@cheerfulpodcast.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reasons@cheerfulpodcast.com</a> or at <a href="http://www.cheerfulpodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.cheerfulpodcast.com</a> and follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/cheerfulpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cheerfulpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reasonstobecheerfulpodcast/notifications/?notif_id=1640996292121579&amp;notif_t=page_user_activity&amp;ref=notif" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/71198659" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> Hosted on Acast.
