In the latest UnionDues, Simon chats with Alice Martin from PIRC about labour market regulation, enforcement and the scourge of non-compliance. Just why does this matter so much to unions and what is the scope for action? Mel Simms looks at the theory that underpins this regulation in her #thought4theweek. Spoiler alert – both Alice and Mel conclude that union involvement is essential for decent employment standards. With Basit Mahmood adding his #RadicalRoundUp of union stories that problem won’t get covered n the mainstream media, and you have a bumper 1st edition of 2022. Companion blog for links, etc, here. Part of the Labor Radio Podcast Network, Music by Scott Holmes. A Makes-You-Think production. Timestamps: Mel Simms – 2m27s, Alice Martin - 7m37s, Basit Mahmood – 46m.33s, Jack Dromey tribute – 50m08s
