An event organised by Notes from Below:
Workers Centres have proven transformational for local organising initiatives, ranging from the defence of migrants to the waging of workplace struggles. Across this three-part series of discussions and workshops, we will explore what it would mean to establish a Workers Centre at Pelican House.
Join us to hear about the experiences of worker centres internationally with Janice Fine, followed by a roundtable discussion on the local challenges and opportunities in Tower Hamlets. Worker centres are community-based organisations that provide support and resources to low-wage and immigrant workers. They often focus on campaigning for workers’ rights, providing education and training, and helping workers navigate the law and regulation about work. After the speakers, there will be a practical workshop on building a worker centre in Tower Hamlets!
