Teach Out: Unions and the Media – PAUSED

The Unions and the MediaTeach Out is PAUSED and will likely be rescheduled.

An online teach-out: Wednesday February 22nd, 2:30-5pm (Link to join via Teams)

We will start with a Trade Unions 101 by Anthony Kevins: Is a trade union like a student union? Are strikes just protests? And why are strikes even a thing? In this brief introduction to trade unions, we’ll cover everything you ever wanted to know about collective bargaining but were too afraid to ask. Bring your questions! Then John Downey will present a talk entitled ‘What about the workers? How do news media frame unions and what we can do about it’ discussing unions, inequality, and media representation, including reflections on how UCU does self-mediation and how it is being represented in the current dispute.
