This was (as always) a fantastic and timely episode. Made me think deeply about the injustices of labour in healthcare and the artificial and unhelpful capital-driven divide between those who give and receive care. Highly recommended for anyone interested in health justice.
Callum Cant describes the history of workers inquiry, a form of research in which workers take the lead, and explains why it should be central to our movements.

Another great pod from @medicinered.bsky.social. @jlthorne.bsky.social discusses worker self management - the Lucas Plan, and reaches conclusions congruent with our forthcoming Radical Abundance book. We must move beyond defensive struggle to propositional politics.
