Disengagement between capital and labour - Zygmunt Bauman

Community iconc/workreformby flango@lemmy.eco.br

working life has been full of uncertainty since time immemorial; but the present-day uncertainty is of a strikingly novel kind. The feared disasters which may play havoc with one’s livelihood and its prospects are not of the sort which can be staved off or at least resisted and mollified by joining forces, making a united stand, jointly debating, agreeing and enforcing measures. The most dreadful disasters strike now at random, picking their victims with a bizarre logic or no logic at all, scattering their blows capriciously, so that there is no way to anticipate who will be doomed and who saved. The present-day uncertainty is a powerful individualizing force. It divides instead of uniting, and since there is no telling who might wake up in what division, the idea of ‘common interests’ grows ever more nebulous and in the end becomes incomprehensible. Fears, anxieties and grievances are made in such a way as to be suffered alone. They do not add up, do not cumulate into ‘common cause’, have no ‘natural address’. This deprives the solidary stand of its past status as a rational tactic and suggests a life strategy quite different from the one which led to the establishment of the working-class defensive and militant organizations.

[Sweden] First poster board up!

Community iconc/unionsby tissek@sopuli.xyz

Earlier this week I put up the union's first poster board at our production facility. With that the work that is starting to get a club up and running really kicks off. There are a lot of work to get done before we are there, but we will get there. First two things on the agenda is to send more members to the union's three-day orientation course and get local union rep into various meetings the employer has. We have a law called Medbestämmandelagen (co-determing law) that gives the workers' organisation large rights to insight into how the company is run.
