New episode of Material Girls! We have a spoiler-heavy chat about feminist ideas in some of our favourite horror movies, and consider the real-life horror of living and working in the world of AI, big tech monopolies, and liberal feminism.

Interesting initiative trying to map the strike action that's going on under the radar of the press. Seems like it's an initiative that could expand in lots of ways.

Today we recorded out first episode of 'Talking Shop' in a while. We apologise for the lack of content for the past few months but the challenges of 2020 meant that family, work and ourselves had to take priority for a little while. But we are back!

👊🎉

[New Syndicalist @NewSyndicalist]

Our reboot episode focuses on the dynamics of home-working and what demands union organisers could collectivise in this area. We also look at the recent actions of the education union NEU and their use of Section 44 to organise against the wider reopening of schools.

Happy to be in an ever widening crew of trade unionists sharing skills and stories. Give @NewSyndicalist a listen if you follow us and visa versa.

[New Syndicalist @NewSyndicalist]

We’re really happy to announce that @requirespod is now part of the New Syndicalist family! Their new episode considers the current state of the education sector given the tumultuous events of the last six months both in UK politics and society at large.

They say that necessity is the mother of invention and seven weeks of high-intensity organising has produced some interesting results So what are some quick lessons we can draw?

In the new episode of Talking Shop we are joined by Petros of @UVWunion!

New Material Girls episode!

This time we’re talking about sex. What do feminists think about it? Has that changed? How should we feel about it? Is sex good, bad, or neither? Join us for a slightly ramshackle chat about these questions and more.

Love this short article 👏

New on the blog! How can we best use our new or strengthened connections with our neighbours to encourage & support workplace organising? Lydia from the editorial team suggests a ‘whole worker’ approach, dissolving the distinction between work & home.

Care worker & IWW organiser Gemma talks with @NewSyndicalist podcast #TalkingShop about how #Covid_19 has impacted her work, how carers have supported one another, & the main priorities for organising in the sector in the months ahead.

"Who cares for the carers? Well it just turns out it's other carers."

We talk to Gemma – a care worker, member of UNISON & organiser for the IWW – about how Covid has impacted her work, and about priorities for organising in that sector in the future.
