Migrant / Media / Metropole
New labour struggles in the global city
Een transnationale discussie over migratie & arbeidsverhoudingen en daarmee samenhangende conflicten. Migratie en media-activisten analyseren samen met onderzoekers en vakbondsorganizers de 'best practices' in de strijd tegen precaire en onzekere arbeidsvoorwaarden, en delen inspirerende voorbeelden van nieuwe organisatie- en vakbondsvormen voor sociale rechtvaardigheid. Zij laten daarnaast nieuwe creatieve campagnes zien, zoals de ‘Justice for Janitors’-campagne in de V.S. en de campagne ‘Schoonmakers voor een betere toekomst’ in Nederland. Het doel is om traditionele vakbondspraktijken ter discussie te stellen en activisten, academici, mediamakers en kunstenaars te inspireren om deel te nemen aan hedendaagse arbeidsconflicten.
