Work, politics and Austerity
14 November 201511- 5pm.
VENUE: GMB Euston Office. 22 Stephenson Way Euston London NW1
The continuing intensification of neo-liberal policies across Europe and
beyond will bring major challenges to the workers and popular classes,
at home and abroad.
The re-composition of radical left politics in the UK and
internationally presents both challenges and opportunities to activists
and academics. In this context, *Critical Labour Studies* (CLS) has
organised a one-day event with the intention of encouraging discussion
and reflection after the political changes of the current year.
*The CLS tradition is one of open debate and discussion*. The day will
be organised around four themed sessions, with maximum time for
discussion from participants:
*Programme*
11.00:Crisis and austerity: trade union responses, John Kelly, Rachel Cohen
12.30: Lunch (provided)
13.30: Alternatives to austerity in Europe, Bob Jeffery, Monica Clua
Losada, Martin Upchurch
14.45: Left politics and Labour: from Scotland to Westminster, Neil
Davidson and Paul Stewart
16.00: Break
16.15: New worlds of work and resistance, Maurizio Atzeni, Jenny Chan,
Elly Baker, Phoebe Moore
17: 30: Close

*For your diary:**the annual two-day CLS Symposium and workshop will be
