”The Week on Wednesday” with Van Badham & Ben Davison
News:Politics
Van Badham and Ben Davison sat down with NSW Labor Leader Chris Minns to discuss his campaign, why privatisation doesn't work, why his former school teacher dad inspires him to respect the power of education to change lives and what it will take to fix the gig economy, workers rights and local manufacturing.
Join Van, Ben and the NSW Labor leader as they discuss the need to put workers at the centre of reform, how each of us can improve our communities by talking with people about the issues we face and why being opposition leader is a hard job but doesn't have to mean always being negative.
Van and Ben also discuss the Pampas strike and the failure of Zambrero to protect workers in their supply chain. A deeper dive with workers involved in the campaign will be in next week's episode. Don't forget wherever you work, whoever you work for you need to be a union member and can join at australianunions.org.au/wow
And the good news is the re-election of Democratic Senator in Georgia Raphael Warnock!
Plus we give shout outs to all our www.buymeacoffee.com/weekonwednesday Cadre and Extend the Reach supporters.
