Ep: 25 — EMPLOYEE VOICE IN THE DIGITAL AGE: WILL TIK TOK AND SLACK REPLACE TRADE UNIONS?
Description
Social media is a powerful tool for the issues that matter most to employees. Could these digital platforms be poised to replace trade unions as the primary voice of labor, particularly in the United States? While the U.S. system is often seen as dysfunctional, the entrenched "all or nothing" approach is favored by both unions (who wield significant power in their limited domains) and most employers (who benefit from roughly 90% of workplaces remaining union-free). In this episode, Alan provides strategies and best practices for effective social media management.
