On Strike (Forum for Philosophy)
14 May 2019, 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Event Navigation
Workers of the world, unite! We discuss the history, politics, and ethics of strikes, and their place in the labour movement. Why do they happen and what makes for a successful strike? What justifies workers in withdrawing their labour to push bosses for improved pay and conditions? And will this event be cancelled due to strike action?!
