In these special episodes of the podcast, we’ll be hearing from some of the people who spoke to Daniel Gray for the STUC book ‘Mon the Workers: Celebrating 125 Years of the Scottish Trades Union Congress. Published by Luath Press and available in all the usual places, it includes interviews with 75 trade unionists and portrait photographs of a further 50.
This time, our guest is Xabier Villares. Through his job as a delivery rider, Xabier saw the conditions that gig economy workers toil under, as he details here. He also describes his work with the Workers’ Observatory Project, which seeks to challenge conditions in self-employed work and considers the future role of trade unions.
