In this episode of The Line, we take a critical look at the state of the trade union movement in the UK from a socialist perspective. With union membership, workplace organisation and industrial action all facing major challenges, we ask how the left should respond.
We discuss the movement’s strengths and weaknesses, and the possibilities for socialist intervention within and outside the unions.
What is the current state of the trade union movement and what are its biggest challenges?
What models of organisation might we adopt?
What should the socialist left be doing inside and around the unions?
What is the relationship between trade unions and wider social movements?
We will also have a range of perspectives on these matters represented on The Exchange to help us debate ideas and strategies going forward. As ever, we will be back on Monday with The Briefing.
