Unions 21, Beyond Trafficking and Slavery, and the Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI) at the University of Sheffield have teamed up to produce a new series of trade union masterclass podcasts.

Unions 21 will release new episodes every Monday for the next five weeks, each with a different senior union leader or academic working on union organising. Styled as ‘mini-TED talks’, the topics will range from the need for a renaissance of private sector bargaining, cross-border trade unionism, and union governance to the importance of union learning and education programmes, and how unions can effectively use mobile apps and games.
