And we're off! @DaveWardGS outlining that income insecurity has been around for decades. Too many ppl 1 pay cheque away from disaster. The #COVIDー19 crisis has brought that into relief #newdealforworkers

It's unions working together with community and campaigning organisations to harness the enthusiasm to change society - @DaveWardGS

What is a #newdealforworkers? 1. We need to unite as a movement of workers to end precarious employment. Unions are the vehicle to do that.

#newdealforworkers 2 - be open to new ways of working to build new coalitions, including harnessing new technology and local enthusiasm.

#newdealforworkers tech problems! Sorry! Over to @kategobell and we'll try and get @DaveWardGS back as soon as we can.

@kategobell echoes @DaveWardGS that there are many longstanding issues that are brought into sharp relief. Job insecurity, privatisation, fragmentation and outsourcing.

@kategobell #COVIDー19 is not a great leveller. Its exacerbating inequality and the low paid are dying at a greater rate.
