13:21Now PlayingIn a clip from today's podcast, Seán and Ava dive into the ongoing London Underground strikes, breaking down why transport workers are taking action and why their demands deserve public support. They're campaigning for better working hours and an end to extreme shift rotations.
Far from just inconveniences to commuters, these strikes highlight broader questions about workers’ rights and fair pay. Seán and Ava argue that the RMT’s call for better working hours and more predictable schedules isn’t just about Tube drivers, but about setting a standard across industries where employees are expected to sacrifice their wellbeing for profit.
The conversation also challenges common media narratives around industrial action, showing why solidarity with striking workers is essential in the fight for fair treatment, especially in the public sector.
