The first comprehensive survey of how union behaviour has been altered by Covid 19 is featured in the latest UnionDues podcast. Tom Hunt of the Sheffield Political Economic Research Institute and Becky Wright from Unions21 argue that while there are many more questions than answers, the willingness to explore and innovate is the true take-away from the pandemic. Do you agree?

Mel Simms’s Thought For The Week focusses on sick pay and Britain’s culture of presentee-ism. Josiah Mortimer shares his radical round-up of stories you may have missed.

Plus shout-outs to the FBU, Unison, RCN and RCM - all fighting for public safety and a fair deal and for their front line members.
