Hear from the workers on the bins, in hospitals, schools, universities, and out on the roads who are rebuilding the working class movement. Fighting for more than just pay, these workers are on the frontlines of local democracy, dignity, family life, and a groundbreaking new way to launch 'political' strikes.

This roundtable will round up the last year of industrial action. Come hear about the latest developments in the class struggle - hot off the press.
