Winning at Work conference sees unions address organising in precarious sectors

UNION activists came together on Saturday to share ideas and build capacity to organise precarious and low-paid workers in London.

The New Economics Foundation (NEF) organised the Winning at Work event, which was attended by representatives from Bectu, the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB), RMT, Unite and the University & College Union.

The NEF has warned that precarious and low-paid work has boomed in London in recent years, with 117,000 Londoners on zero-hours contracts facing an uncertain and insecure income.
