National pay bargaining is in decline and doesn't always work as intended. In the episode we argue that we should disaggregate the one-size fits-all approach and encourage and empower more local union activity - a race to the top if you will.

But what if local structures can’t or don’t support such a model? What might be the unintended consequences of accelerating the deterioration of national bargaining? Will there be debilitating jealousies between or within
unions? We certainly don’t dodge these key
questions:

We’re grateful to have the support of Thompsons, the leading trade union and social justice law firm, The General
Federation of Trade Unions - delivering trade union education, building solidarity and the home of StrikeMap, Pellacraft, award winning and trusted
supplier of promotional goods, and Battersea
and Wandsworth Trade Union Council. Thank you all.
