'Mon the Workers Interview: Satnam Ner & the Anti Racism Movement

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, we’re hearing from Satnam Ner. Prospect rep Satnam is a long-term member of the STUC Black Workers’ Committee. The St Andrew’s Day March they organise has become a key date in the trade union calendar, and an energetic presence in the fight against racism and fascism. Here he describes what it means to him and the wider movement.
