About this interview: Stephen Morris is head of the Workers of England Union. The Workers of England union is a fully independent trade union which anyone can join. It aims to PROTECT it's members employment rights in their chosen industry. Unlike most unions, The Workers of England Union uses representatives that are external and independent from the organisation of it's members. This means they are less likely to be influenced or have conflicts of interest with corporate management. In this conversation we talk about why the union was set up, what to do in the event of a disciplinary meeting and many more things. I hope you enjoy the conversation. Links - Website

The world has changed since we last looked at this topic and so it is high time for an update. A wave of public sector strikes as well as protests by environmental groups should give us pause for thought when considering levels of political engagement in the UK. Are we entering a new era of campaigning advocacy and agitation? I argue that we are.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a hippie nudist with a hammer assaulted Nancy Pelosi’s husband inside their home in the middle of the night. But the most important thing the media wants us to know about this story is that it’s all the fault of Republicans, and also that we’re not allowed to ask any questions about it. Also, Elon officially takes the helm at Twitter, and immediately start instituting a number of important changes. And Barack Obama takes to the campaign trail to save the Democrats from the coming Red Wave. An NBA star shuts down a reporter in satisfying fashion. And another Starbucks employee has an emotional meltdown on camera. Is this a problem only at Starbucks, or is society-wide issue?

Over the last year, Starbucks baristas across the US banded together to form unions at the stores where they work. And workers at other big name companies like Amazon have joined in to organise their own workplaces, too. But the FT’s labour and equality correspondent Taylor Nicole Rogers explains how these and other new unions around the US are running up against a classic problem in labour. Can they convince their employers to come to the bargaining table to hash out a contract?

Backers of a $15 federal wage say it’s a no-brainer if you want to fight poverty. Critics say it’s a blunt instrument that leads to job loss. Even the economists can’t agree! We talk to a bunch of them — and a U.S. Senator — to sort it out, and learn there’s a much bigger problem to worry about.

Labor Day, the day when most people in America paradoxically take off work, is actually rooted in some deeply radical and anarchistic thinking. Learn all about this most subversive of American holidays in this episode of Short Stuff.
