Why You Should Be a Trade Unionist
Why every worker should join a unionIn this short and accessible book, Len McCluskey, General Secretary of Unite the Union, presents the case for joining a union. He considers the changing world of work, the challenges and opportunities of automation and why being trade unionists can enable us to help shape the future. Drawing on anecdotes from his own long involvement in unions, he looks at the history of trade unions, what they do and how they give a voice to working people, as democratic organisations.
Ultimately, McCluskey explains how being a trade unionist means putting equality at work and in society front and centre-stage, fighting for an end to discrimination, and to inequality in wages and He sets out why being a trade unionist is as much a political as it is an industrial role and why the historic links between the labour movement and the Labour Party matter.
