Jura is hosting a special talk on "Anarchist workplace organising in Aotearoa New Zealand".
Simon is a unionist and anarchist organiser from across the Tasman. He will talk about his experiences in a number of successful worker-run organising campaigns:
- Supersize My Pay youth rates campaign
- Warehouse - organising a retail chain for the first time in 20 years
- Pak n Save - organising workers in a company owned by a right wing libertarian think tank
Discussion will follow around the questions of being an anarchist and an organiser; organising with, without and despite trade unions; and how will workers build a revolutionary movement to save the planet.
