Details

This activity is designed to develop an understanding of labour power and how to strengthen it. Delegates should refer to thei own experience of strength in the workplace.

In your group your facilitator will lead a discussion on the following:

• If you are in work, is your workplace ‘strike ready’?
• What steps will you take to get your workplace more prepared for action?
• How can we build confidence in our workplaces and in the wider community and develop peoples sense of collective power, including the power of the withdrawal of their labour?
• How can we support other workers in struggle? Give practical examples of what people in the group have done and will do to support striking workers in their areas.
• Consider the actions of TGi and MacDonalds strikers and identify ways in which you will help build unions amongst precarious workers.

This feedback session should be delivered by someone who hasn’t fed back before. You have 4 minutes to deliver your feedback so it needs to be focused and the flipchart should once again be a series of half a dozen bullet points in large print.
