The organised labour movement is the only force that can really end inequality and build a just society.
But to do that, it needs to rebuild its strength after years of being on the defensive. Currently a majority of workplaces in the private sector are not organised in a union: how can we turn this around?
Socialists and working-class activists draw inspiration from the struggles of the past, like New Unionism and the Great Dock Strike of the late 19th Century, where un-organised workers formed unions in huge struggles. And there are examples in Britain and around the world today, such as the Deliveroo strikes in London, the Supersize My Pay campaign in New Zealand, and the fight for a minimum wage in fast food in the USA.
Workers' Liberty are hosting this meeting to discuss recent struggles of previously un-organised workers. We will hear from a young cinema worker on an organising drive in that sector; an activist from the IWGB Couriers' Branch on the Deliveroo couriers' strike; and an activist from the Hungry For Justice campaign which is organising workers in high-street food chains.
