Syndicalist mettings

High cost of life, wages, housing.

Undoubtably aorkers around the world know a true lowering of their
purchasing power and must face more and more dificulties around housing,
transportation and food. Facing this, some social movements are
developing with vindications going from simple demands for respect of
fondamental rights to the requirement of a true redistribution of wealth
 : as capitalism produce more and more wealth, is redistribution more and
more unequal ?

Outsourcing, redondencies, unemployment.

Capitalist globalisation brings more and more restructurations whether
under the form of outsourcing, shooting down unprofitable factories,
mergers and so on. What international reaction can we have in front of
this critical situation for the workers of the world ?

Cooperatives.

The cooperative system of production can be an alternative to the
dominant economical system as a way of self-organisation of the workers
as well as a weapon of the syndicalist struggle, notably for the
repossession of closing factories...

Representativity, law, syndicalist freedom and antisyndicalist repression.

First of all we will look over at different situations in each country
present (syndicalist existence rights in companies or at a national
level, right to strike, attacks against syndicalist freedom). This will
bring us to look at the perspectives of struggles and of common means of
actions to reinforce syndicalist rights.

Revolutionary syndicalism, anarchosyndicalism and institutions.

How can we combine our day-to-day struggles and our revolutionary vision
of syndicalism ? How far can syndicalism go out loosing ist independence
toward the State and the bosses ? What is the relationship between the
syndicalism and politics ?

what kind of public service ?

Precarity at work.
