From postal workers to nurses, we face a winter of strikes. What do they want and why should we all be invested in their cause? Frances O’Grady, general secretary of the British Trades Union Congress, joins Jude Rogers to discuss the problems faced by Britain’s workforce – and whether those taking action can pull together for a better future.

“With real wages falling and living standards stagnating there is a coordinated offensive against working people.”
“There is no light at the end of the tunnel unless we stick together.”
“When striking workers win, we all win.”
