New labour struggles in the global city
Saturday February 2nd 2008, Amsterdam
Migration and media-activists gather with theorists and labour
organizers to discuss and share best practices in the fight against
precarity and insecure labour conditions. Sharing inspiring examples of
social justice unionism and creative campaigning like “Justice for
Janitors” in the U.S. and “Cleaners For a Better Future” in the
Netherlands. The aim is to challenge traditional labour practices,
syndicate and inspire a sharper network of social activists, academics,
media makers and artists to join contemporary urban labour struggles and
confederate into a globalization from below.
