Organized by: Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung Southeast Europe
International Conference: "For Labour Rights! - Trans-National Solidarity, Common Goods and Perspectives of Organising"
Location & date: Hotel Palace, Belgrade, Serbia, 28.10.2017.
Lecturer: Ana Vračar (OWID/BRID)
Moderator: Krunoslav Stojaković (RLS SEE)
Keynote II: "Organizing and Campaigning in the Public Sector"
Introduction (Krunoslav Stojaković):
The focus of this session is on organising and campaigning efforts in and around the public sector, with the health sector as a focal point. Following the outcome of the elections that took place in June 2017 in Britain, and the political success of the British Labour Party’s election campaign which resulted in gains, it is obvious that the question of public goods is of immense political relevance – or, as Bhaskar Sunkara stated in his comment »Why Corbyn won« in Jacobin-magazine: »Labour’s surge confirms what the Left has long argued: people like an honest defence of public goods.« In this framework there are two main issues that this workshop intends to address: the issue of social movement unionism and how to organise successful campaigns on the one hand, and the issue of connecting working people from the public and private sector on the other.
Keynote (Ana Vračar)
The main aim of this session is to give a qualitative overview of key experiences in the field of cooperation between civil-society organisations and trade-unions, relating to both how to organise effective and recognisable campaigns, and how to articulate common demands. To achieve this we will present the campaign on defending public healthcare in Croatia.
