11:00 – 12:15 Fighting for our jobs and our planet: a working class response
Workers are on the frontline of both the climate crisis and the political narratives that try to pit jobs against the planet. In the Year of Trade Union Climate Action, this Tolpuddle panel brings together leading organisers, campaigners, and union voices to show how the Year of Trade Union Climate Action can become a powerful, worker‑led movement for change.
If you want to understand how climate justice becomes workplace power and how workers themselves can shape a fair, union‑led transition, this is the session to be at.
12:30 – SPEAK OUT! Tim Lezard speaks to our campaign stalls

13:15 – 14:30 From Tolpuddle to tech-puddles – what would the Martyrs think of AI?
Advancing technologies are reshaping jobs and our lives at breakneck speed.
With the UK’s AI bill already working it’s way through Parliament, algorithmic systems are already influencing hiring, performance management, redundancies and surveillance! And not least of course our politics, so unions are right to be alert.
We are long past the moment where we smash the machines to avoid a post-apocalyptic end to humanity and connection, but should we just accept that automation will transform work in ways we can’t yet imagine.
Here at Tolpuddle, leading experts from the trade union movement will unpack the issues and delve into the ways in which unions must be, and indeed, are, at the heart of forging a more democratic, worker-led future with tech.
