And we& #39;re off! @DaveWardGS outlining that income insecurity has been around for decades. Too many ppl 1 pay cheque away from disaster. The #COVIDăŒ19 crisis has brought that into relief #newdealforworkers
It& #39;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& #39;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 #COVIDăŒ19 is not a great leveller. Its exacerbating inequality and the low paid are dying at a greater rate.
