Edinburgh Radical Bookfair
Ian Allinson will be speaking at the Edinburgh Radical Book Fair, in a session alongside Eileen Turnbull (author of ‘A very British conspiracy: the Shrewsbury 24 and the campaign for justice’), Aditi Jehangir of Living Rent, and Morag Livingstone (author of ‘Charged: how the police try to suppress protest’). The session will also be livestreamed.
Intertwined picket lines
What makes this era of strikes different from preceding ones? What makes it exactly the same and how can we use industrial action for real, lasting empowerment of communities?
After a year during which one UK labour force after another has announced strike action, we welcome you to delve into a conversation about all kinds of picket lines, how they are kept separate and how they can be connected in order to achieve not only better terms for workers, but systemic change for all. This panel will look at the power of industrial action, its limits at present, and potential beyond particular industries, asking vital questions about where we go next.
