Weekends: Pedro Castillo's Victory and the Future of British Trade Unionism w/ Ronan Burtenshaw



Every Saturday at 1 PM ET, Ana Kasparian and Nando Vila broadcast live from the Jacobin YouTube channel. Weekends features free-flowing and humorous commentary on current events and political strategy. This is the podcast version of the show from June 12, 2021.

Ronan Burtenshaw of Tribune joins us to discuss the contentious leadership election in Britain's largest union, Unite, and its massive implications for the entire UK. We also discuss how the law has been written to serve the interests of employers and what the recent victories for Pedro Castillo and AMLO's MORENA mean for the Latin American left
