About 20 people attended the workshop on Labour Relations. The following points are a very brief reflection of the discussion which were fed back to the plenary of the conference, NOT as proposals for a PGA manifesto, but to encourage critical debate on these points within the network.
We are for human creativity and against wage labour.
Capitalist class relations still exist.
We encourage close collaboration with autonmous workers' groups and solidarity with all workers (waged or unwaged) however they are organised in their struggle against capital (against flexibilisation, privatisation, the destruction of social security etc).
We encourage solidarity with the struggles of the unemployed and are against workfare.
There is a global division of labour. We are for global class struggle, not along national lines.
We encourage the use of the techniques of new social movements (eg womens' and ecologist movements) in workplace struggles; we are for cross-fertilisation between these movements and workers in struggle.
Let the debate continue!
