S4 E3 – Collectivize, not unionize, should be our motto

In episode 3 of season 4 of the Alberta Worker Podcast, independent labour journalist Kim Siever discuss how unions can only get us so far when we’re in hierarchal, undemocratic workplaces.

While unions play a critical role in improving labour conditions, wages, and benefits, we shouldn’t forget that there’s an alternative approach: workplace collectivization, which prioritizes direct worker control and collective decision-making, aiming to create a more inclusive and empowered work environment.
