In the US, it's Labour Day, dedicated to the achievements of American workers -also traditionally the start of all-out campaigning, for the November Presidential election. We look at how blue collar workers are faring in the pandemic and their importance in this election. We report on the latest angry stand off between the UK and the EU over Brexit and the terms of the withdrawal. And we report on sexism in the workplace, and its ugly twin, ageism, and how older women in the labour force are struggling against a double-headed prejudice.
