Trade unions are a centuries old institution, coming to prominence during the FIRST industrial revolution to protect workers from the hazards of new types of work. You might not imagine us as data-driven innovators, but a 2022 Unions21 report: “Using data to build strong unions” highlights that data capabilities are as important to unions as they are to every other organisation in the Digital Age.
Becky Wright, a fearless advocate for strategic transformation in trade unions, presents Unions21’s ongoing research on trade union data innovation: what we’ve learned so far; what we still have to learn; and what we might even be able to teach the wider data professional community.
Speaker: Becky Wright, Executive Director for Unions21
