Send us a textWelcome to another exciting episode of Atypical. This week join Sam and Simon as they talk about the world of unions and we explore the countless benefits unions offer. From protecting workers’ rights to ensuring fair wages, unions have been an integral part of shaping the work landscape into a more just and equitable space. Their indispensable role in ensuring that workers have a voice against giant corporate entities is a testament to their importance in modern-day work culture.Switching gears, we then move to the commemoration of National Inclusion Week. A celebration close to our hearts, we discuss why inclusion is not just a buzzword but a necessity. In a world that is beautifully diverse, it's crucial to recognise and celebrate our differences. Inclusion paves the way for understanding, growth, and innovation, breaking the chains of bias and prejudice. Inclusion isn't just about acceptance; it's about valuing every individual for who they are and the unique perspectives they bring.And in true "Atypical" fashion, we couldn't end the episode without touching on some odd news that caught our eye. Brace yourselves for this one: a church has recently put forth the outrageous claim that autism is caused by demons! While it's easy to dismiss such news with a chuckle, it’s a stark reminder that there are still many misconceptions and myths out there.
