155: Woolworths vs workers & Prahran by-election ft. Angelica Di Camillo

12/07/24 • 58 min

First they came for my Australia Day pub celebrations, and I did not speak out - because I was not a pub. Tom is joined by guest host, new Greens candidate for the Vic state seat of Prahran, Angelica Di Camillo! First up, a discussion of what’s going on with the Prahran by-election, the allegations against resigning former member Sam Hibbins, and her plans for the campaign (9:40). Then, 1500 Woolworths warehouse workers across Australia are on strike demanding wage increases and refusing to work under AI surveillance (36:24). How is this going to play out? Is this a turning point of workers standing up? Finally, a call to action (53:23).
