In a rapidly evolving world where workers are at the mercy of apps, bad bosses, and zero-hours contracts, the question arises: why should we care about unions? Aren't they just for white-haired, middle-aged miners? The government constantly attacks unions, CEOs dedicate endless time and resources to undermining them, and many unions themselves seem stuck in the past. Despite these challenges, inspiring work is happening all the time. From fast food strikes and climate change campaigning to the modernisation of unions for the digital age, young workers are organising to demand fair workplaces and reimagine what an inclusive union movement that represents us all might look like.

Speaking to academics, experts, and grassroots organisers from the TUC, UNISON, ACORN, and IWGB, Eve Livingston delves into how young workers are organising to demand fair workplaces and reimagine what an inclusive union movement that represents us all might look like.

Working together can change the course of history, and our bosses know that. Yes, you need a union, but your union also needs you!
