The Commune reading group: what are trade unions for? London, 26th October
Oct 19 2009 09:04
The next of The Commune's London discussion meetings on workplace organising is to be held from 7pm on Monday October 26th at the Artillery Arms, 102 Bunhill Row, near Old Street. We will be looking at the questions:
- Why should unions remain independent from the state?
- What are the limitations of negotiating better conditions of employment?
- In what ways have unions become integrated into the administration of capitalist relations, and how can this be resisted?
All welcome to come and join the discussion. We have an open culture, and while the debate is based on the questions, it often turns to contemporary themes. The recommended reading material and a map of the venue appear here: email uncaptiveminds@gmail.com for further details.
