Video

---

This 30 minute video was produced during lockdown to be used in classrooms to promote a discussion about how collective action can overcome problems and injustice in the workplace, and in the wider community. A look at the role of trade unions and why young people might join a union, once they leave school and enter the workplace.

We have also divided the film up into 6 x 5 minute parts, each with a final screen of questions/prompts for classroom discussion. 

1. What are Trade Unions?
2. School Protests and Strikes.
3. Young Workers Protesting Locally and Globally.
4. How did Trade Unions Start?
5. The Gig Economy and Zero Hours Contracts.
6. Young People Campaigning – it’s Your Future
