A tale of two tactics - Strikes vs the Commission

Listen "A tale of two tactics - Strikes vs the Commission"

Episode Synopsis

In addition to a weekly wrap of union news, this week we look at two avenues that are used to lift the wages of workers. We first speak with Don Sutherland about the annual minimum wage case, where the commission uses legal argument to decide what low paid workers "need" to survive. We then cross to a picket line at Yakult, where workers are taking matters into their own hands - striking for better pay and conditions.
