Dear all,

The International Socialism journal is holding a one day conference
Work, Class and Resistance:
Saturday 8 February 2014.

How relevant is Marx’s conception of class? Has the working class been
rendered impotent by neoliberalism? What are the prospects for resistance
from trade unions today?

The conference brings together academics and trade union activists. It is
an opportunity to discuss and debate the shape of the working class today
and the potential for resistance.

Plenary sessions:
The Working Class Today
Resistance and Organisation

Workshops:
Theorising Class
The State of Workplace Organisation
Precarity and Poverty
Social Media

Speakers include:

Ralph Darlington, author of 'Radical Unionism: The Rise and Fall of
Revolutionary Syndicalism'
Jane Hardy, author of  'Poland’s New Capitalism'
Kevin Doogan, author of 'New Capitalism? The Transformation of Work'
