{"product_id":"why-you-should-be-a-trade-unionist","title":"Why You Should Be A Trade Unionist","description":"In this short and accessible book, Len McCluskey, General Secretary of Unite the Union, presents the case for joining a trade union. 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.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;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. He sets out why being a trade unionist is as much a political role as it is an industrial one and why the historic links between the labour movement and the Labour Party matter.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Ultimately, McCluskey explains how being a trade unionist means putting equality at work and in society front and centre, fighting for an end to discrimination, and to inequality in wages and power.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57316421599614,"sku":"NW9781788737876","price":8.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781788737876.jpg?v=1778718729","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/why-you-should-be-a-trade-unionist","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
