Voorprogramma: Boekpresentatie Urban Politics Now! - 13.00 uur
www.debalie.nl/artikel.jsp?articleid=208167&podiumid=media
Een transnationale discussie over migratie & arbeidsverhoudingen en
daarmee samenhangende conflicten. Migratie en media-activisten,
tezamen met onderzoekers en vakbondsorganizers analyseren best
practices in de strijd tegen precaire en onzekere arbeidsvoorwaarden
en delen inspirerende voorbeelden van nieuwe organisatie- en
vakbondsvormen voor sociale gerechtigheid. Zij laten daarnaast nieuwe
creatieve campagnes zien, zoals de ‘Justice for Janitors’-campagne in
de V.S. en de ‘Schoonmakers voor een betere toekomst’ in Nederland (www.beteretoekomst.org
).
Het doel is om traditionele vakbondspraktijken ter discussie te
stellen en om activisten, academici, mediamakers en kunstenaars te
inspireren om zich aan te sluiten bij hedendaagse arbeidsconflicten.
Met: Enrica Rigo (migratie onderzoeker); Marcel van der Linden
(Arbeids Historicus); Zoe Romano (Chainworkers); Nico Scuglia
(Oficinas Sociales); Massimo De Angelis (the Commoner); Dagmar Diesner

Globalization has brought us an increasingly integrated global circuit
of large corporations and financial conglomerates, which have
concentrated power in fewer and fewer hands. On the other side, we can
find an emerging globalization from below, that of migrants, labour
struggles and social activists, claiming space and redistributing
wealth.
15:30-16:00: Break with possibility of sandwich and conspiring.
16:00- 17:15: panel #2 Syndicalism 2.0

Examples of campaigns that have brought inspiration and innovation
back to labour, revolving around organizing and social movement
unionism, building community, going back to the base and out of the
office.
17:15-18:30: panel #3 No Longer Invisible: Labour & Media
-Zoe Romano (Chainworkers Milano), interventions of a bio syndicate

representation.
