'Mon the Workers Interview: Eilis O’Keefe & Better than Zero campaign in Cineworld

In these special episodes of the podcast, we’ll be hearing from some of the people who spoke to Daniel Gray for the STUC book ‘Mon the Workers: Celebrating 125 Years of the Scottish Trades Union Congress. Published by Luath Press and available in all the usual places, it includes interviews with 75 trade unionists and portrait photographs of a further 50.

This time, our guest is Eilis O’Keefe. As a student, Eilis worked at Cineworld. A sudden shift in working conditions led her to engage with the STUC’s Better Than Zero campaign and inspired continuing involvement with the trade union movement. Here she details her campaigning journey.
