Coronavirus Capitalism 5. The reopening of the economy
Thursday, 21 May, 2020
In this episode we discuss the approach of the Tory government and the Northern Ireland executive to the easing of lockdown restrictions and the reopening of the economy following a statement from Boris Johnson. We ask whether the government should be allowed to prioritise profits over workers' lives, what we can do to prevent being forced back into dangerous workplaces, and how workers must ultimately organise to say there's #nogoingback to an austerity agenda that has included the long-term plundering of the NHS and public services, as well as the grinding down of wages and workers' rights.
