A bayonet is a weapon with a worker at both ends - the history and present of peace activism in labour

This week on Workers Power we talk to Ross Gwyther from the Brisbane Labour History Association to talk about the peace movement and its history in WWI and even as far back as the Cimean war. Right at the end of the show we talk to Navdeep Singh about the ongoing struggle in India which involves the largest strike in history.

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.

If you want to share your struggle on Workers Power, send our page a message, or email us at workerspower4zzz@gmail.com.

Our show intro was created by Chris Bingham from The Starvation Orchestra.
