Can Workers Win? at the University of Manchester

Can Workers Win? An open discussion with Ian Allinson, author of Workers Can Win: a Guide to Organising At Work
This teach-out runs as part of UMUCU’s extensive programme of free events and workshops running parallel to the strikes which imagine an alternative university. Can Workers Win is an invitation to us all to reflect on questions around our organising as a union, and to think about it in the context of wider worker struggles. Joining us in person is local organiser and author Ian Allinson, who will have discounted copies of his book with him, alongside UMUCU’s Morgan Powell and Molly Geidel.
How do we build power in a workplace? How can we link up better with other struggles? How should we think about strategy? What does it mean to win, and how do we get there? Join us to discuss these questions, and to ask your own questions about organising in relation to our strikes, and beyond.
