Businesses wanted for union reality TV show

TV production company Ricochet is looking for firms that are interested in participating in a TV series investigating the role of trade unions in the modern workplace.

The firm, behind Channel 4 shows Risking It All and Supernanny, would like to hear from medium-sized firms with between 50-200 employees with a low or non-existent level of trade union membership to be involved in the project titled "Unionise Me".

The aim of the show is to investigate the questions: Are workplaces without independent collective representation necessarily more productive and profitable? Is it possible that a company in which the workforce is responsibly represented by a trade union could be more productive, profitable and robust, able to weather change better than its competitors?

Firms interested in taking part should contact Ricochet for further information.
