Re.war.ding Work
Service Union United PAM hosted a workshop at the Imagine Untitled festival in Helsinki. Under the heading of the Future of Rewarding Work, PAM has committed to a 10-year union revitalising journey.
As co-founders of the Imagine Untitled festival, PAM is taking serious strides to reimagine the role of trade unions in a world that rewards the collective good. I am honored and proud to have offered my ideas and support along the way!
At their maxed out online workshop on September 17 participants were asked to role play in groups and reflect on what rewarding work would be each of their characters.

The Future of Unions
In the second breakout session, the groups were asked to discuss the role of unions in ensuring a world of Rewarding Work for all. What should unions be and do which they aren't and don't today?

Next steps
PAM will over the next 10 years unpack, build and renew to meet the dreams and aspirations of workers. They took an important first step at the Untitled Festival - a welcomed opportunity to throw all balls in the air and imagine a different, more sustainable future.
