All of Andrew's videos are a great watch - they have helped shape my thinking, and so much of Elemental Flow.
This latest video is another important one, reminding us of the power (gained and lost) of unions, and how much more there is to do.
This latest video is another important one, reminding us of the power (gained and lost) of unions, and how much more there is to do.
Once, unions shook nations and promised a better future. But today, their once booming voice has felt more like a whisper. Their mass mobilisation retreated into bureaucracy. Their gains rolled back by the most powerful ruling class in history.
Still, are unions our best hope?

Game jams can be a great opportunity for writers to work with a team, creating characters and stories for game types you wouldn't necessarily make on your own. If you're in London next weekend, there are still some tickets left!
Quick heads-up
In-person spaces at Goldsmiths are limited and already selling fast.
If you want to jam IRL, collaborate face-to-face, and soak up the energy of the UK’s biggest GGJ site, don’t wait.
Online tickets remain open, but IRL fills every year!

I wonder if Rockstar leadership envisaged this kind of response when they decided to fire 30+ workers in a union?
Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

WGGB stands in solidarity with the @gamesworkers.co.uk members fired by @rockstargames.com
This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.
We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.
