UTAW’s podcast, where Shireen, Eleaor & Edwin figure out what’s going on in tech, unions, politics and the internet.

The committee is back, after an unfortunate hiatus resulting from an attempted (FAILED) insurrection. Find out where we’ve been, why we’ve been there, why we’re sorry about it and how we’re going to make amends.

This episode: Affairs of the Olympiad, New comrades in Ireland, Protests at Google, a union ballot at Apple, Shireen goes Green, Wes’ Revenge, The Mandelson Files and a very happy birthday to Andrew.
