<div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">It is clear to researchers
and activists, both in the trade union movement and universities, that global
capitalism is increasingly shaping the worlds of work and employment. The
imposition of this neo-liberal orthodoxy has many profound implications, not
least that states seek to both de-legitimise workers' opposition and marginalise
their organisations. However, just as capitalism has embraced neo-liberal
strategies, there has emerged a new politics of resistance that is varied and
diverse, embracing: trade union and socialist organisations, green and
ecological protest movements, anti-war activists, feminists, human rights
campaigners and NGOs.� It is against this background that the Critical Labour
Studies (CLS) symposium has aimed to bring together researchers and activists to
discuss key features of work and employment from a radical and labour-focused
perspective. We recognise that while left academic researchers participate in
the usual round of mainstream conferences, the scope for focused radical debate
around these themes is actually quite limited. Through CLS we have developed an
open working group and discussion forum that engages with many of the challenges
facing researchers and trade unionists within the current environment of work
and employment. By 'labour', we anticipate, in the traditions of radical
researchers over the ages, a broad understanding of social, economic and
political agendas. To date, themes have included: race, identity and organising
migrant workers, global unionism and organising internationally, the new
politics of production, privatisation, outsourcing and offshoring, restructuring
and alternative/inclusive research methodologies.� The list of themes and
questions that concern us continues to develop over time, and the intention will
be to reflect this evolving agenda at this year's symposium. An ancillary
objective is to engage in genuinely critical debate, rescuing this term from its
co-option by mainstream agendas.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">Building on the successes of
the past six years, the forthcoming symposium will be structured as a series of
plenary sessions. Each will be organised around a particular theme with speakers
and discussants, followed by a broad discussion. It has been an important
principle of CLS that the conference is not based on the convention of academic
conferences with specific papers being presented in separate streams. Rather our
intention has been to deepen discussion and debate, and to bring together
researchers and labour/ union movement activists (where possible) in joint
sessions.� All sessions are genuinely open and inclusive and involve a broad
range of participants, from established academics to early-career researchers,
and from established trade union officials to shop-floor representatives and
grass-roots activists. The distinctive organising principles of CLS are,
therefore, to assist unions and workers in dealing with the challenges faced in
the neo-liberal world of work and employment. Ultimately, discussion of
strategies and tactics are related to the broader aim of creating a socialist
society.</font></div>
