About the fringe

Workers are being asked to pay for an economic crisis they didn’t create. Activists are being blacklisted from jobs. Trade union representatives are being victimised at work. Many workers are facing attacks on their jobs, their pensions and their living standards.

How should workers and unions respond? Has the time passed for mild, modest and moderate requests for reform of the anti-trade union laws? If politicians will not deliver change, how can workers secure fairness at work?

Speakers at the fringe will consider the political, legal and industrial options available to those wanting to protect trade union freedoms, promote workplace fairness and project a new world order on a discredited and increasingly failing economic system.

Come to the fringe. Join in the debate. Let your voice be heard.
