THE UNEASY ALLIANCE:
Workers and the Anti-Corporate Globalisation Movement
Open forum and discussion
Tuesday 14 November
7.30pm RMIT
Meeting Room 1
Lesley Clucas Lounge
Building 12, Level 4
Swanston St
While Bracks gets a pie in the face, S11 protestors vow to continue their
fight at May 1 next year.
N30 in Seattle, A16 Washington, S11 Melbourne, S26 Prague. These mass
protests against Corporate Tyranny and Global Capitalism show that
activists around the world are angry and fighting back against the symbols
of capitalism itself. The trade union movement to varying degrees is
sympathetic and even supportive of this movement.
However, S11 shows that this is an uneasy alliance. The S11 Alliance
largely failed to convince unionists to join the pickets of the World
Economic Forum. Some would argue this isn't important. Others would argue
that this isn't actually the case.
Workers Power believes that the lack of trade unionists on the S11 pickets
contributed to the ability of the police to attack protestors after the
Monday Blockade.
Open discussion and debate about the lessons of S11 and the way forward to
May 1 2001.
