The nature of work - historically, now and into the future

Friday, 1 May 2020 - 10:00am to 10:30am

This May Day, Jacques and Jennifer discuss the nature of work, its history and possible future directions of work in Australia and internationally, bringing us to the current time of the coronavirus and associated 'work-less-ness'....

They wonder whether 'work' is indeed the solution for all welfare problems...? and why would the conservatives be so adamant about 'creating' jobs and suggesting the unemployed should just try harder...? And why should we 'love' our jobs for goodness sakes...? For example cooking greasy burgers in an unhealthy industrial kitchen and being abused by drive-in customers???

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
