Episode 2 - From Fringe Bodies to Weapons Of Doom UnionDays
-
- Society & Culture
The late 1980s, and I’m working for the specialist civil servants’ union. Hear why one employer thought jury service didn’t apply to their staff, how another sacked someone for being on maternity leave, and why a third was given a “take it or leave it” ultimatum by their employees. Hear too about a change in my responsibilities that brought me face-to-face with spooks, so-called weapons of doom and, albeit indirectly, the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
A Makes-You-Think production. Music by Scott Holmes. Companion blog here. Some names and other details have been changed. Got a story for the scrapbook? Tell us at info@makes-you-think.com
