UBI Lab: What Could Universal Basic Income Do for My Union?

About the event

A UBI is a monthly sum paid to everyone to act as a basic income on top of work. This is so people can pursue opportunities which require financial help, do work they want to do whether that is paid or unpaid volunteering and to act as a safety net in case of unexpected situations.

This event is a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue about how UBI could

• Bolster our collective bargaining power
• Provide financial security for our members
• Contribute to a fairer society

The discussion will explore various themes, such as the value of paid and unpaid work and the importance of solidarity.

Panel

The event's panel consist of:

• Maddy Radcliff, MU Campaigns and Social Media Manager
• John McDonnell MP, Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington and former Shadow Chancellor
• Vicky Blake, Leeds University UCU Honorary Secretary and former UCU General Secretary contender
• Jonathan Rhys Williams, Lawyer GMB Wales and South West and Co-founder of UBI Lab Wales
