Flexible work and its consequences: historical perspectives

Trade Union Forum


On 6 April 2017 Noel Whiteside, Professor of Comparative Public Policy at the University of Warwick and Sally Brett, Head of Equality, Inclusion and Culture at the British Medical Association discussed flexible working now and in the past. Casual labour in the nineteenth century and zero hour contracts today have much the same downsides, and what we mean by “flexible working” today can vary, and advantage different groups.

Organised by the Trade Union Forum.
