Episode notes
Hello and welcome back to another episode of 'Mon the Workers. In this episode we’re going to be speaking with trade unionists about getting home safely from work - public transport and why this is a feminist trade union issue.
Getting home safely is a major issue, affecting a wide range of workers, particularly in the entertainment industry where shifts often run late into the night. This issue is particularly of concern to women, with a recent Government study showing that nearly 60% of women say they do not feel safe when using public transport and a staggering 8 out of 10 of women reported that they felt unsafe waiting for a bus after dark.
With Dr Diljeet Bhachu from the Musicians Union, and Caitlin Lee from Unite the Union.
