As the pandemic hit hard in the early stages of the lockdown, government urged rapid changes in industrial production. Many companies, including those that that make parts of the UK’s Trident nuclear weapons system, switched to making ventilators, protective visors and other NHS and PPE requirements. This experience shows it can be done – and it has never been more urgent to produce for the public good. Join CND’s zoom fringe – at this year’s TUC Congress – to discuss this crucial issue and how we can help make this type of change permanent.
Speakers: Sam Mason (PCS Policy Officer), Hilary Wainwright (Red Pepper, participant in original Lucas Plan initiative) and Bert Schouwenburg (former International Officer GMB). Chaired by Kate Hudson (CND General Secretary).
