Rideshare Drivers in Cooperation Queensland and Respect Inc

In this episode Feargal is away so we are joined by Christopher Bingham. Chris interviews Ahri Tallon, an organiser for Rideshare Drivers in Cooperation Queensland, to talk about the union and organising in platform capitalism.

We also interview Janelle from Respect Inc, a sex worker advocacy organisation, to talk about organising sex workers and the DecrimQLD movement fighting against laws that put workers lives at risk.

Workers Power is broadcast on the lands of the Yuggera and Turrbul people. We pay our respects to elders past and present, and we stand with First Nations people in their struggles for self-determination and land rights.

Join the Workers Power team on 4ZZZ 102.1FM in Meanjin/Brisbane as they discuss worker's issues and struggles.

Workers Power seeks to build the culture of trade unionism and solidarity by giving a platform to trade unions and workers to talk about the struggles in their workplace, as well as events and struggles outside the workplace that they are involved in.
