Workers, Unions and the Cost of Living Crisis - video of panel discussion

 

From the Green Party Trade Union Group

The cost of living crisis engulfing the UK has the potential to define our politics. But what are the political implications of the rising cost of living? How can workers and trade unions respond? And how does the Green Party navigate the crisis? To discuss these and other questions, we welcomed an array of expert speakers, well-placed to offer insight into the crisis and its political impacts: - 

• Kate Bell, Head of Rights, International, Social & Economics at the Trades Union Congress (TUC) 
• James Meadway, Director of Progressive Economy Forum and former adviser to John McDonnell 
• Andy Beckett, journalist and author of 'When the Lights Went Out: Britain in the 70s' 
• Emiliano Mellino, organiser and labour journalist with the Bureau of Investigative Journalism
• Molly Scott Cato, Green Party spokesperson on Finance & Economy
