We’re fed-up, frustrated and impatient. And you should be too. Unleashed from obligations to employers. Unfiltered by gobbledegook. Uncompromised in what we say. We ask the vital questions that go to the heart of the union movement. We have 80 years of combined union building experience and the gloves are off: No holds barred, nothing left unsaid. Thanks to our supporters: Thompsons, The General Federation of Trade Unions, Pellacraft, and Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council. Contact us at organising@makes-you-think.com. Organising For A Change? Why on earth not!

24 Union cultures and union building feat. Becky Wright

In this episode Simon and Martin chat with Unions 21 [https://unions21.org/] Executive Director Becky Wright about some ground breaking work on union culture, and how this ties in with union building.  Spoiler alert – sometimes it helps, at others in obstructs. But the inter-relationship between culture, strategy, and resources is still little-understood, little-studied and little-exposed.  Hear what is being done to change all this by listening today!  You may also be interested in the Unions 21 report [https://unions21.org/ideas/all-ideas/culture-and-unions-building-organisations-fit-for-the-future]on union culture, and Martin’s blog [https://unions21.org/ideas/all-ideas/view-from-the-movement-creating-a-culture-open-to-change] on the same theme.

23 Building social change feat. Jane Holgate, John Page

In this episode, Simon and Martin chat with the authors ofChangemakers – Radical Strategies for Social Movement Organising, Jane Holgate and John Page, who both have long and distinguished involvement in the theory and practice of organising. At the heart of the debate is how to operate in acomplex and conflicting environment of union cultures, legislative frameworks and employer obfuscation – and (spoiler alert!) there is no checklist for success.  Quoting Marshall Ganz [https://www.linkedin.com/in/marshall-ganz-129a5617/] John sums it up thus: “If you want to build power, you have to cede control.”  You can hear Jane talking about other areas of her work in this [https://on.soundcloud.com/fyGiDjV7NyamMaWryU]Unions21 podcast, and John and Jane discuss the more research-orientated content of their book in this [https://shows.acast.com/64f9ab491e6de800115f344b/67da87adf48da980924f5da6]Transforming Society episode. Jane Holgate [https://business.leeds.ac.uk/research-ceric/staff/521/jane-holgate] is Professor of Work and EmploymentRelations at the University of Leeds and a Trustee of the Ella Baker School of Organising. John Page [https://www.ellabakerorganising.org.uk/about] serves on the committee of the Ella Baker School of Organising. Changemakers [https://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/trade/changemakers] by Jane Holgate and John Page is available on Policy Press [https://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/trade/changemakers] for £14.99 here [https://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/trade/changemakers].

21 No Sweat and union building feat. Jay Kerr

Our special guest for this episode is No Sweat convenor JayKerr.  He reminds us that when NS set upshop nearly 30 years ago, “sweatshop” was a term little understood. Changing perceptions and understanding is just one of the many achievements of Jay and his colleagues.  Our discussion dives deep into the politics and practicalities fo consumer boycotts,  how to give meaning and life to international trade union solidarity, and what this can contribute to union building at home.  The key takeaway -   we can all make a difference as individualsand as part of the union movement.  Visit nosweat.org.uk [http://www.nosweat.org.uk/] for more on the campaign. For signposting and background see Simon’s post on the Loudshirts [https://www.makes-you-think.com/loudshirts-blog/] blog. Run time 30m24s. First published 28 November 2025.
