UnionHome post on TUC Pension Seminar

UnionHome the new web site for the trade union movement run by Unions 21 have published a post that I wrote on the recent TUC seminar on workplace pensions.

If you have any sort of interest in the future of trade unions then UnionHome should be in your favourites folder.

 

The Spirit Level, Unions and an alternative economic policy

Check out my post here on the UnionHome blog that Austerity is the problem while trade unions and income equality can be the solution.  

UnionHome

I've just submitted an article to the new UnionHome website launched recently. This is an offshoot of

Unions21. It's editor is Dan Whittle.  

"Since we launched UnionHome last week it's been visited over 1,000 times. Simon Sapper writing for the blog today, says 'UnionHome is great, but surely it's long overdue?'. Help us ensure we publish views from across the union movement by writing a blog for us. Reply to this email with your ideas.
New thinking from UnionHome you might have missed:

1. Lessons of the Living Wage for Unions - Lord Glasman

2. Union Members More Likely to Vote in General Elections - Rafael Gomez and Alex Bryson

 

3. If it's Buy-In You Want, Forget the Shares-for-Rights Scheme - Michael Wheeler"

I would agree with Simon Sapper that UnionHome is long overdue. Good luck Dan and I hope it works.
