What makes it exactly the same and how can we use industrial action for real\, lasting empowerment of communities? \nAfter 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. \n\n \n \n \n SlideBOOK CONTENTS \nINTRODUCTION \nBUY URL:https://workers-can-win.info/event/edinburgh-radical-bookfair/ LOCATION:Assembly Roxy\, Edinburgh\, 2 Roxburgh Place\, Edinburgh\, EH8 9SU\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://workers-can-win.info/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/intertwined-picket-lines.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20221030T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20221030T133000 DTSTAMP:20260502T164203 CREATED:20221004T210227Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221004T210227Z UID:778-1667131200-1667136600@workers-can-win.info SUMMARY:Workers Can Win!
